Celebrity Chef Brett McGregor will demonstrate his fresh & tasty magic at 11.30am in the PartyPerfect Celebrity Kitchen in the Pavilion Building.
Brett McGregor needs little introduction – he describes himself as a Masterchef, Author, Teacher and a Food & Wine Ambassador. In 2010 he was declared New Zealand’s first Masterchef – this was the catalyst for him to follow his bliss.
He says, the development of his culinary skills can only be attributed to one person, his mother! While his mum’s influence helped Brett learn important skills, it was through his mum and dad’s travels that he was first introduced to new flavours from all over the world. His cooking style is tasty, fresh, seasonal and easily achievable. Brett says, "food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious."
Fill your life with good friends, good times and good food #kapitifoodfair
Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
