In New Zealand, business entertaining often occurs at drinks party events with elegant finger food hosted in the office reception or board room. The menu must be varied, with some vegetarian and gluten-free options and offer a mixture of fresh and crunchy palate-tempting snacks.

The Classic Club Sandwich remains one of these 'comfort dishes' that is ever popular but it needs to hold together so that the components don't slip alway and fall on your special jacket or silk dress.

As part of our Canapes and Drinks Party Cuisine module, we make a classic club with the test being - can you cut it in a triangle shape, on its side, and place on a platter, without the sandwich collapsing...

Poem: "Drought"

Christopher Neighbourly Lead from Papatoetoe

Before the virus came to town
To make us stop and look around
Rain was scarce
Then scarcer still
Dams did not fill
Rain did not fall
Rain did not fall
Dams did not fill

Before the virus came to town
To make us stop and look around
Rain was scarce
Then scarcer still
Dams did not fill
Rain did not fall
Rain did not fall
Dams did not fill
The virus held sway
It got in the way
Of every good thought but kindness
Save water! Said weekly
Save water! Said weakly
Save water! We all shout.
So why should we heed
The advice of Raveen Jaduram
Who weekly said weakly
“We’re having a drought...”
