Seven culinary students from the Otago / Southland region competed for a place in the National Secondary Schools Culinary Competition (NSSCC) Grand Final. The regional final was held at the Otago Polytechnic.
Congratulations to William Loe from John McGlashan College, regional winner for Otago / Southland. Will turned up the heat in the kitchen, having to prepare, cook and plate, two individually plated portions of an entrée within 60 minutes. The entrée had to contain fresh New Zealand grown broccoli as the main component of the dish.
His winning dish, Tempura broccolini served with pickled beetroot and broccoli stem. Accompanied by a broccoli and almond toasted crumb and broccoli miso puree. Judges’ comments include ‘Good hygiene and knife skills demonstrated. Very organised. Good range of flavours and textures.’
It was suspicious and a fire investigator was looking into it, he said. “Another suspicious fire to add to the list in Gore.” There have been at least six fires tagged as suspicious in Gore in the past three months. Emergency services were called to a small fire in a vacant house in Pomona St, Gore just before 7am on Monday. On November 12, a vacant house on Clyde St in Gore was demolished after a fire. Last week, a fire investigator said it may have been caused by a faulty heat pump, but could not conclusively rule it out as suspicious given it was vacant.
