France, 2022, Comedy (French with English subtitles)
105 mins, Rated M, Cast: Grégory Gadebois, Isabelle Carré.
This historically-based comedy tells of a gifted chef and his unlikely protégé who yearn to free themselves from servitude.
In France in the late 18th Century, gastronomy is strictly the domain of the aristocrats. So much so, the prestige of a noble house is entirely dependent on the quality and reputation of its meals.
So, when the talented but prideful cook Manceron (Gadebois) serves an unapproved dish of his own creation at a dinner hosted by the self-entitled Duke of Chamfort, Manceron is immediately dismissed.
With nowhere else to go, Manceron retreats with his son to a regional inn, where soup is the only meal served. But when a mysterious woman arrives and offers to pay to become his apprentice, the stage is set for a wildly enjoyable tale of rekindled passion, mentorship and revenge... not to mention the creation of France's very first restaurant.
Joining the ranks of films such as Big Night, Chocolat and Babette's Feast in its joyous depiction of the preparation and love of fine cuisine, DELICIOUS is just that.

Applying moisturizer before bed allows three things to happen:
1. Rest for your face
2. Repair from the activities you do throughout the day
3. Minimize the effects of ageing
A nighttime moisturizing lotion with retinoids is an excellent choice for almost any age. Retinoids clear the pores, preventing acne from growing and helping to heal persistent acne problems as well.

A chance to make some Christmas money and get yourself known.
Reyburn House is offering members and non-members the chance to have a market stall in the grounds of this beautiful building with the backdrop of roses and river.
The events will take place on Saturday 22nd October, 3rd December and 17th of December.
Stalls for each date will be $25 for members and $35 for non-members. We provide the space and you provide the rest. You will be in charge of your own sales unless you want to put them through Reyburn and therefore give the usual 25% commission to the NSA. Not many people carry change anymore. If you do not have your own eftpos then one can be hired from Ecosse 43B Herekino Street. They are prepared to rent them at $60 a day for stall holders. If you already have a merchant number then there is no rush. If you don’t then it will be the first 8 people through the door!
If you or your friends are interested, then please let me know as soon as possible and I can send you a form. wendy@reyburnhouse.co.nz . First come first serve with allocation of your stalls position.
Every child is unique. At NumberWorks'nWords, we know that your child is amazing already. We just help them prove it, so that they shine when it's their time! ?
