Porirua serving up a month of Whittaker’s chocolate delights
ChoctoberFest is coming to Porirua – the home of Whittaker’s chocolate.
Porirua City Council has created ChoctoberFest as a way to showcase the city’s fantastic hospitality businesses, while celebrating the much-loved Whittaker’s brand, made right here in Porirua.
For the whole month, 15 Porirua cafés will be serving up unique chocolate drinks, vying for the title of Top of the Chocs, and from 8–16 October, 11 Porirua cafés will offer delicious baked treats as part of the Whittaker’s Bake Off.
Visit poriruacity.govt.nz/choctoberfest to see everything that’s on offer and once you’ve tried them, rate your favourites.
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
