Chelsea Winter - A Winter Evening with Chelsea Winter
Masterchef winner, TV personality, author, and celebrity chef Chelsea Winter will be in Hokitika as part of our Winter Festival on the 3rd May at 7.00pm.
Chelsea will be giving an illustrated talk with a Q&A at the end. Her books - including her latest ‘Scrumptious’, along with ‘Homemade Happiness’, ‘Everyday Delicious’ and ‘At My Table’ - will be available to purchase and have signed by Chelsea.
Proceeds from this event will go towards the Hokitika Lion’s fundraising efforts for a huge new Christmas Tree to be located at the entrance to Hokitika.
Bring family and friends and be ready to be inspired.
A supper prepared by students from Westland High School, and using Chelsea’s recipes, will be available for a gold coin donation. There will also be a bar available, along with tea and coffee.
“With my recipes, anyone can cook delicious food for their family and friends. Even if you feel like you’re a complete egg in the kitchen, you’re gonna be fine. That’s why I write and test every single one of my recipes at home in my kitchen (and Mike is my chief taste tester – it’s all very scientific). I only use everyday ingredients that are easy to find at the local. And the food is designed so even finicky eaters of the family will enjoy it. So what are you waiting for? Have a look, get inspired and get your beautiful self into the kitchen!" Chelsea Winter
The event is being kindly sponsored by Monteiths and Take Note.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
