It makes a tasty soft and flexible wrap. The water can be replaced with vegetable juices for different colour and flavour. Spices such as cummin, or herbs such as parsley can be added to the mix for extra flavour as well. Once cooked, the wraps can be brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt then cut into wedges and baked in the oven until crisp for tasty chips. Alternatively, garlic butter can be used instead of oil and salt. I find that it is useful to keep a packet of the wrap mix in the pantry for when unexpected visitors arrive, so that I can produce quick and easy food that meets all dietary requirements.

Guardianship of our region demands that we have a vision to balance the needs of society and the environment, and to generate wealth for all our communities and whanau.
As a councillor, my aim would be to work relentlessly to drive accountability, value authentic science and represent all people with equality, honesty and integrity.

Curriculum changes would reset a national framework so that all learners and ākonga were aware of key aspects of New Zealand history and how they had influenced and shaped the nation.
What do you think? Should New Zealand history be taught in all schools, or are there other, more important subjects to teach?

Hi neighbours - what'd you think of the All Blacks vs. South Africa game on Saturday night?
