🛑STOP Swapping / Lending / Gifting

Hi neighbours

I’m concerned about the continued swapping / gifting / lending of items that’s happening at the moment during the lock down.

We cannot do this during lock down. We cannot have any contact with people and their items that are outside of our bubble during this period.

The virus sits on surfaces, and if it’s on an item that we have gifted someone then that family / person may become infected. It’s too big of a risk. How would we feel if we infected a family and one of them died?

We all need to be mindful about this because if NZ doesn’t get in front of this during the lock down, we will be closed for longer and more jobs will be lost, and potentially will lose lives. The impacts will be even greater than they are now.

Please stay safe everyone and please keep everyone else safe.

Thanks
Danni

Good news.
We have managed to go remote with our NZQA fulltime courses! NZSFWLive is our new online learning platform where our tutors live-stream their classes to students at home. The cookery students have been supplied with ingredients, and in some cases, bowls, trays, sieves and pots, so that they watch the demonstration and then prepare it themselves at home. They then upload a photo of what’s cooked. We are using Google Classrooms and Hangouts to connect.
Here is Chef Finn preparing a cheese soufflé. Click here for the recipe to have a go yourself.

During the #lockdown our premises will remain closed but you can contact us on admin@foodandwine.co.nz
