Re: Professor Grant Schofield is coming to Tauranga...

Debbie Cunliffe from

Please find attached details of Professor Grant Schofield's visit to Tauranga in November as part of Diabetes Awareness Month.

Grant is leading the wave of change in how we think about our health, including how we exercise, how we sleep, how we play, and how we connect. The central place ‘real’ food plays in our health and wellbeing; a desire to help people “be the best they can be”, drives his research and practice.
Dubbed “The Fat Professor”, Grant, together with Dr Caryn Zinn and Chef's such as Pete Evans and Craig Rodger (LOOP) are at the forefront of challenging the widespread fat phobia that has pushed us to eat a diet full of processed, carb-laden food. “It’s time to help the world change,” he says.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Bob Owens Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
