celebrate good times, come on…
To continue quoting Kool & the Gang – there’s a party going on right here, a celebration to last throughout the years, so bring your good times, and your laughter too. We’re gonna celebrate your party with you! Welcome to our bigger-than-ever, bumper celebration issue. Admittedly, 2020 was not what I would call a vintage year; it feels like the world has been under siege, and yet tucked away down here at the bottom of the planet, we have been incredibly fortunate to escape the worst of it. And in among the stress of lockdowns, face masks and job losses, there have been bright spots too – and this is what we’re here to celebrate. For the dish team a particular highlight was winning the trifecta of top gongs at the…

Weronika Elantkowska Events and digital coordinator @weroelantkowska Weronika – ‘Ronnie’ to the team – is originally from Poznan, Poland, and if you were to meet her in person, she could shoot the breeze with you in any of five languages. Because as well as being a digital whizz (and a lifesaver for dish’s digi offerings during lockdown), she speaks Spanish, German, English, Polish and Greek. In her home country, she did a Masters in Linguistics, then a postgrad diploma in Communication/PR at AUT in Auckland.

in season: cherries
Cherries have long been admired for their seductive beauty, featuring in ancient and modern works of art, and in photographs, books and magazines, but it’s their rich, sweet, juicy flesh that gets cherry lovers rhapsodising.

The pleasure is fleeting – the burst of intense lusciousness quickly dissipates, leaving you wanting another, and another one, and just one more … and so on. Yes, I’m a cherry lover, and not always keen to share. Cherries need little or…
