Robyn’s ratatouille recipe is a real crowd pleaser

Rita Angus Retirement Village

Ryman resident Robyn swears by her ratatouille recipe from her much-loved copy of the Joy of Cooking, given to her by her next door neighbour in 1964.

Moving to New Zealand in 1976 and with four children to cook for, Robyn said the ratatouille recipe was a firm family favourite which she would cook up every couple of weeks when the veggies were in season.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Modern God at Circa Theatre

Marketing Manager from Circa Theatre

Six influencers collide in a high-energy dance-theatre work exploring fame, consumerism, and our digital obsessions. Footnote New Zealand Dance present the return season of the critically acclaimed MODERN GOD.

Stunts will be attempted. Records broken. Memes made. Content consumed. Advertising sold. Lives ruined. Heroes formed.

This high-powered show, straddling the realms of contemporary dance and physical theatre, delves into the intricate web of global internet culture. It’s a unique opportunity to dissect our interactions with the online world, from its absurdity and speed to its utility and potential dangers.

Reviews:
“breathtaking tour de force of artistry” The Post
“MODERN GOD is immediate. It’s urgent and overwhelming. Bloody. Its concerns are with the now; the intersections between social media, capitalism, and us.” – Jack McGee, Art Murmurs
