Hutt cook book proves a tasty delight for judges

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Hi Neighbourly folk, if you enjoy a good curry you should check out Pass It On.
The book of family recipes passed down through generations took home two prizes at this year’s national book design, the only self-published book to be nominated.
Pass It On is a cookbook of authentic Indian Gujarati cuisine, written and published by mother and daughter Shobha and Keryn Kalyan from Lower Hutt.
The Publishers Association of New Zealand (PANZ) design awards attracted nominees from all round the country.
At the awards held in October, the book took home the prizes for best cover, best emerging designer, and was runner-up in the best cookbook category.
PS. I have this book and I can vouch for the recipes in it. It is a lovely book.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
