Nadia Lim headlines Christchurch Food Show return after Covid-19 hiatus

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hey neighbours,

If you’re a foodie, this show is a goodie.

The Christchurch Food Show is returning to Christchurch Arena this weekend after Covid-19 cancelled the 2020 show. It will feature more than 120 exhibitors serving up a smorgasbord of unique food and drink.

The show’s stalls offer options from cured meats to plant-based milk bases, chocolates and cheeses, to seafood sourced from the Chatham Islands, and much more.

Live guest chef performances are headlined by celebrity chef and entrepreneur Nadia Lim, along with food writer Annabelle White and cooking personality Ganesh Raj.

Will you be checking out the show this weekend?

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom

I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.

With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
