Tastes like summer

Essie Summers Retirement Village

Chef Troy at Ryman’s Diana Isaac Village serves up a mouthwatering array of summer dishes inspired by patio gardens teeming with herbs.

Topped with a layer of lemon curd and finished with mint and edible flowers, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters.
