'India meets the Mediterranean' Food Festival

Tulsi from Cashmere

Hello neighbors!

My family owns and operates an Indian supermarket located at the heart of Christchurch (Bombay Bazaar), which is right next to another local business - a Mediterranean supermarket (The Mediterranean Food Company).

A few months ago we got talking and this led to us collaborating to organise a free community event dedicated to sharing our love for Indian and Mediterranean cuisine and culture with others. A first for New Zealand, our 'India meets the Mediterranean' food festival will take place on Sunday, 2nd April at 322/328 Tuam Street from 10am-4pm.

We have sourced outstanding (some even award-winning) chefs from our local community to run open-air cooking demonstrations throughout the day, all of them have migrated away from their home country but continue to stay connected to their roots through their passion for food.

We will also be offering free store tours to those interested in learning about the unique (and potentially unfamiliar) ingredients we offer at our stores and how to use them in their day-to-day meals. There will be free food tastings at both stores, a selection of local food trucks/stalls, and market stalls (clothing, jewelry, henna). We have also invited local artists for live music/entertainment.

A lot of time and effort has been put into organising this event and we are so excited to play a small part in helping bridge the cultural gap between locals and those from other parts of the world such as India and the Mediterranean.

It would be awesome to see our community show support for this event, please come along and bring friends and family!

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

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

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.
