Mediterranean Lunch
For the Mediterranean Menu, the Advanced students must design and cost out a menu to a budget which includes a fish dish (the need to fillet the fish) freshly made pasta (ribbon or ravioli) and a tempting dessert. The students are able to invite a guest to join them for this gastronomic luncheon which they prepare during the morning.
Here are some of the dishes prepared by our students.
•Entreé - Pan seared gurnard, barley salad with olives, capers and salsa verda
•Entreé - Chicken and mushroom ravioli with vin blanc sauce
•Main - Braised beef cheek pappardelle, asparagus and grilled parmesan
•Main - Pan seared fish with pinenut crumb, pea puree, grilled heirloom tomatoes, parmigiano polenta and basil olive oil
•Dessert - Sfouf (Lebanese turmeric cake) made with semolina, turmeric and almonds and walnuts
•Dessert - Baklava served with rose petals and chocolate shards and Chantilly cream

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
