Six of our NZQA Diploma Cookery students signed up for the New Zealand Hospitality Championships – previously known as the Culinary Fare run by the New Zealand Chefs Association at the recent Hospitality Hui held on on September 19, 2022.

Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.

These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.

As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.

Kingsland, an otherwise quiet suburb in Auckland, was filled with a sea of black – and yellow – t-shirts as fans of the All Blacks and Wallabies gathered in eager anticipation of the Eden Park test.

Just a week after the All Blacks produced a miracle 39-37 victory over the Wallabies in Melbourne, fans of both teams had strong feelings about how Saturday night’s crucial Rugby Championship match would go.

For couple Kerry Lane and Kate Spencer-Smith, the question of who would win caused some debate as they each supported the opposing side.
