One year on: teaching online cooking, wine and history and our News

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

We watch captivated by the spectacle of those impressive America's Cup yachts foiling at 40 knots across the Hauraki Gulf, and at the same time, it's hard not to have a salutary reflection on the last 12 months.

Almost to the day, we were celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine with special wine tastings, cooking classes, forage and gastronomic dinner for over 75 guests + our students. Many of our Christchurch team, including Lois, Philippe and Victoria had come up for the weekend. My mother-in-law, June Hay had also joined us from her retirement home in Christchurch. By Sunday 15 March, I was getting pretty nervous about Covid-19 and rather than have June stay in the North Island for a holiday, she returned home the next day. A few days later June's rest home went into lockdown and I counted the 14 days to see if we too had a NZSFW Covid Cluster. Fortunately not! See below some photos as we recalled the 10th Anniversary of the Christchurch Earthquakes.

And another website!

Jack from Ponsonby

Hi again team, it's Jack.

We also got Sports Physio NZ's website done too this week. It was so fun working with Tanya Browne, the owner of the clinic, because she cares so much about her target market of atheletic youngins which is so inspiring.

She does her best to relate to people our age which is so fun to see, that's why we had to do our absolute best to bring out her gen-Z side with the website.

Another website done for a small business in Auckland.

Jack from Ponsonby

Hey team,
It's Jack here.

My friend Otis and I just finished up a website for an on-the-comeup spa called Victorian Bali Spas. Sam and Loli, the owners, are incredibly nice and gave us the amazing opportunity to renovate their existing Wix website which was too expensive.

It was so cool to see the inside of the ponsonby branch of Victorian Spas and to get to see what's behind the curtains...
