This year’s Wellington on a Plate food festival is being billed as a chance to travel around the world and back in time.
The theme, Out of Place, was chosen by festival organisers to give the capital’s eateries inspiration for the month-long event which will take place in August. The organisers hope the restaurants will transport their guests to far-flung destinations with their international offerings.
Diners will also be able to go back in time. Daisy’s is set to celebrate Aunt Daisy, the well-known radio personalty who has been called New Zealand’s first foodie. Rita’s has been inspired by the dinners of early Pākehā settlers with their event Colonial Goose.
Katherine Mansfield’s childhood home will host guests, as will the Interislander, with restaurant Shepherd hosting a multi-course meal onboard the Kaitaki to recreate the golden age of travel.

Have you ever wondered what the difference between a condenser dryer and heat pump dryer is?

Heat pump dryers have newer technology which makes them the most energy efficient dryer, saving three times the amount of power, plus it is gentler on your clothes 👚.

Neither require external ducting as the water is held in a canister within the machine. Some models also have a self-draining option.

A fresh acting opportunity has arisen for a teenage girl and an adult man in KAT's production of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Rehearsals have started and now our Becky (main female character) and our Minister (small cameo role) have had to pull out, so we are looking once more for a young woman/teenager to play a 14-year-old girl and an adult man to play a church minister in this lively (and very famous) coming-of-age story set in the 1840s.
Your commitment would be to rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons (the Minister won't be required for all of them) and Thursday to Sunday performances on July 22 to 31.

Interested? Ring director Lynn Coory 027 600 5366 today.

At night, I will need a space inside your home. it can be a room, or a hutch, but some where I can spend time with the family.

This week we feature a picture and words from Rosa Marie from Stokes Valley.

"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"
