Family Luncheon

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

Family Luncheon is always a special time for our students where they can invite 2 guests from their families and prepare a three-course meal for them to savour.

For the first course, our Advanced students prepared Grilled hapuka with rosemary, capers and olives. Chicken ballontine with corn and baked cherry tomato, potato rösti and creamy broad beans for the main course and Plum trifle with Parfait au Armagnac to finish.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
