Anger
over
school
zone
changes
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
INTERMEDIATE school-aged
children living in Halswell have
been excluded from Hillmorton
High School’s catchment zone.
The school will have a new zone
from January 1 as part of major
changes made in a collaborative
effort by principals and the
Ministry of Education to have
all of the city’s state secondary
schools zoned by 2020.
But families living in Halswell,
who were planning to send
their children to Hillmorton
High’s middle school for year
7 and 8 pupils, have been left
disappointed.
The MoE rejected the school’s
proposal to have one zone for
years 7 to 13 to “reduce the risk of
overcrowding.”
MoE sector enablement and
support secretary Katrina Casey
said primary schools in Halswell
are “well-placed” to accommodate
Halswell’s population of year 7
and 8 pupils.
A two-zone enrolment scheme
has now been adopted – one for
year 9-13 and one for year 7-8.

Opportunity missed over toilets

PEOPLE WITH mobility

Coastal-Burwood Community

“The left over money went into

governance manager to find out
how we can get it back,” said Ms
Stewart.
Said city council head of

Trist’s husband Tony, who
struggles with his mobility, faces
trying to cross the 55m to get
from the hydrotherapy pool to
the toilets.
The community board asked
for toilet and shower facilities to
be built closer the pool as soon
as possible in its submission to
the city council’s Annual Plan.
But Ms Stewart said she had
been told this would happen in
“the next two years.”
Mrs Trist, who raised the
original concerns about the
hydrotherapy pool with the
community board, said she was
“disgusted” the leftover funds
had not been used to build more
accessible toilet facilities.
“That is a smack in the face
for the people with health issues
and disabilities that they had
money there to do that and
didn’t do it, she said.
“These people are being
discriminated against.”
Mrs Trist previously told
Pegasus Post her husband
Tony, who is paralysed down
his left side, was almost left
embarrassed trying to get to the
toilet facilities in the past.
She said two years was too
long for people like Tony to
wait for more accessible toilet
facilities to be built. “That’s
two or three years too late. You
know, like, it’s going to happen,
but meanwhile, that should have
been on the original plan.”
Said Ms Stewart: “To
me, it’s a health and safety
issue, it’s not something that
should wait two or three years.
We should provide for the
disabled community as soon as
we can.”

Work on clock tower
starts ticking along
• By Matt Slaughter
THE NEW Brighton
clock tower repairs have
started.
The work is expected to
take about six months.
It was supposed to start
in September but was
delayed after a detailed
investigation revealed
more damage and overdue
maintenance-related issues
than expected.
City council manager
of capital delivery
community Darren Moses
said the contractors were
on site last week removing
some of the old concrete
from the dome area at the
top of the clock.
JOB’S ON: Vincent Fuentes was hard at work on
the New Brighton clock tower repairs last week.

Said Mr Moses:
“Reinforcing will be
repaired and replaced.
The dome will be propped
SOUTHERN VIEW
and measures put in place
to protect the historic
newspapers lining the
under-side of the dome.”
Coco was having real difficulty finding
her food bowls and manoeuvring
around outside. She had always
loved charging around outside with
the other rabbits. Her cataracts had
developed fast in approximately
two months, the right eye more
mature than the left eye. Cataracts in
rabbits can be congenital, traumatic,
metabolic as in diabetes, inflammatory
secondary to uveitis or infectious, as in
the case of E Cuniculi. Coco was being
treated for E Cuniculi, which is a parasite
ingested and eliminated in the urine.
This parasite causes inflammation in the
lens and a capsular cataract can develop,
leading to uveitis and sometimes
glaucoma. It is painful and the rabbits
will often scratch at the eye.
Coco was referred to Steve and her
primary vet and nurse came over to
monitor Coco’s anaesthetic. Rabbits
on the whole are difficult patients to
monitor under anaesthetic due to
their size and eye surgeries are difficult
anyway because monitoring the
the blood. Once anaesthetised she was
hooked up to a blood pressure monitor
and pulsoximeter (measuring her oxygen
saturation in the blood) and positioned
for cataract surgery.
The surgery went really well with Steve
removing the crystalline lenses in both
eyes. A Cataract is a lens opacity and is
due to the loss of architecture of the lens
or capsule fibres. To us the lens appears
cloudy (the lens is in the middle of the
eye). The cataract is then sucked out with
a phacoemulsification machine. This
machine vibrates, cuts and vacuums the
cataract out. If all goes well, the visual
axis is clear and vision is restored.
So far so good. Steve has frequently
checked her eyes and Coco can
visually see well out both her eyes, her
intraocular pressures are good, she is
comfortable and happier now her ocular
world has opened up again.
I think its brilliant Coco’s owner gave her
a chance at restored sight. The other
option would have been removing the
eyes, as the uveitis and glaucoma could
have been too painful for her to live with.
For any questions on cataract
surgeries please contact Steve
directly at McMaster & Heap Vet
Practice. He has just invested in a
new phacoemulsification machine so
hopefully will get to test drive it soon.

National finals
for rock band
•From page 1
The band, known for
its unique stage presence
and genre fusion, is made
up of lead guitarist Jono
Manning, Yannik Turner
(vocals), David Archer
(bass) and Abel Carson
(drums).
Jono and Yannik said
they are excited to be
part of the finals and to
perform with other up and
coming musicians.
Abel, David and Yannik
formed the band last year
before finding the “missing
ingredient” when they
heard Jono playing Foxy
Lady.
From there the “rest is
history”, Yannik and Jono
said.
Their first performance
together as a band was
T.N.T by AC/DC at a rock
night at the school last
year.
“The audience loved it
and we felt that we clicked
on stage and we knew it
was the start of something
good,” Yannik and Jono
said.
From there, the band
played at Heritage Hanmer
Springs in December and
haven’t stopped playing
and practicing since.
They are now writing
their own songs and adding
other instruments,
including different forms
of percussion and harmonica.

monk seal before putting

By the time the caribbean

Name for planned Linwood pool
TE NGĀI Tūāhuriri has gifted
a special name to Linwood’s
planned $22 million pool
complex.
The community facility will
be known as Te Pou Toetoe:
Linwood Pool, and is set to open
in late 2021.
City council head of recreation,
sports and events Nigel Cox said
the name reflects both the local
environment and the passing of
knowledge.
“The term pou is a reference to
both the building itself, and to
the way we pass knowledge from
person to person and generation
to generation,” Mr Cox said.
“The toetoe comes from the
clusters of toetoe and vegetation
originally found in the area on
the sand dunes near Ihutai (the
estuary).”
The concept designs for the
pool were approved by the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board in May
following extensive community
engagement.
The planned facility will be
adjacent to Linwood Park and
include a multi-use 25m lane
pool, which will feature a deepwater
area, a family spa pool,
learn to swim pool and a pool for
toddlers, complete with a water
deck.
Community meeting rooms
and a kitchen are also part of the
design.
“Food has traditionally been a
great reason for people to connect
socially, and the bookable kitchen
will be a major point of difference
that Te Pou Toetoe has for the
community. When integrated
with our outdoor gathering area
and picnic tables, the kitchen will
let the community come together
to prepare and eat food in a way
you don’t always get in a public
space.”
The outdoor community
space will connect the facility
to Linwood Park and include a
picnic tables, tennis and multiuse
courts and cycle stands.
GIFTED: Te Pou Toetoe Linwood Pool has been chosen as the name for Linwood’s new
$22 million pool complex, which is set to open in late 2021.
Zone changes impact Hillmorton High
•From page 1
Year 7 to 8 pupils living in
Oaklands, Halswell and Knights
Stream will instead have to enrol
at Hillmorton High in year 9.
Up to 40 out-of-zone spaces
may be available for year 7 and 8
pupils.
Parent Karen White, who was
planning to send her daughter
to Hillmorton High next year,
said she is not happy with the
decision.
“I think that parents should
have the right to choose
where their children go to
school because every child is
an individual and will learn
differently,” she said.
Mrs White started up a
petition last week calling for
one-zone enrolment zone for
year 7-13 and for more robust
consultation with families and
the community before the new
zone is implemented.
She has also called on other
parents affected by the decision
to email MoE Canterbury
education director Coralanne
Child to provide as much
feedback as possible.
Her views are backed
by another parent, Sandra
Hargrove, who was in the process

of applying for an out-of-zone
space for her son.
She said the general feeling
in the community is one of
disappointment, right through to
anger, and her son was looking
forward to attending Hillmorton
High.
Principal Ann Brokenshire
said the school is “somewhat
disappointed” because it is
running a middle school for year
7 to 10 pupils, but it understood
the MoE’s perspective.
“We don’t necessarily agree but
we understand it and we have
accepted it,” she said.
Up until now the school, which
became years 7 to 13 in 2014
following the closure of Manning
Intermediate, has not had a zone.
Ms Brokenshire said secondary
school principals have done
a huge amount of work after
the earthquakes to ensure
all students have access to a
reasonably close secondary state
school.
Mairehau, Papanui, Riccarton
and Burnside high schools, as
well as Linwood College and
Haeata Community Campus,
will also have changed or new
enrolment zones by January 1,
2020. Burnside High’s amended
zone now covers the area around
the airport.
Parent Nicki Payton said she
is lucky to have got her son into
year 7 at Hillmorton High last
year.
She said her son has only been
at the school for two months, but
there has been an “astounding
progression” in his well-being,
confidence and learning.
Hillmorton High’s roll is
currently at 90 per cent capacity,
with nearly 900 students, but the
redevelopment of the school is
master-planned to cater for 2000
students.
As part of its redevelopment,
construction of a 22-teaching
space two-storey building is
expected to begin early next
month.
The project is estimated to take
12 months to complete and cost
$10 million to build.

Richard Emerson: The Hopfather
by Michael donaldson
The life and times of the man who built the modern beer scene in
New Zealand, an iconic brewer and businessman – Richard Emerson
of Emerson’s Brewery. Richard Emerson is one of our pre-eminent
brewers, a trailblazer who is often lauded as the godfather of craft beer
in New Zealand.
Born profoundly deaf in 1960s Dunedin, Emerson triumphed against
all odds to launch Emerson’s Brewery in 1992. He went on to create
a string of unique, award-winning beers, spark a cult-following,
attract global recognition, and become a millionaire – all from doing
something he loved. For Richard, it came after 20 years of unrelenting
commitment to the cause of good beer. They were two decades of
hard graft, physically and emotionally, of little or no pay, and of long
hours, during which he watched his father, mentor and friend die just
as the business began to stand on its own two feet. This is the story
of an adventurous boy who wouldn’t let anything get in the way of
what he wanted to do; a boy who fought for his place in the world and
refused to let anyone tell him ‘no’.

journey from a Brisbane kid who was written off as too skinny,
too slow and too wild to play professionally, to his debut with

Dally M and Clive Churchill Medal winner, and the fairytale

New Zealand rugby history like the Meads, Whettons, Gears,

Jamie Wall writes insightfully, revealing fascinating stories and
providing analysis of some of the massive changes that have

R.A. Lawson - Victorian Architect &
designer of Dunedin
by Norman Ledgerwood
Following the discovery of gold in Otago, Dunedin quickly grew
to become the largest and richest city in New Zealand. Among
the architects who influenced the young city was the Scottish
architect, Robert Arthur Lawson.
Lawson became more than a leading architect of the day, he
was deeply involved in the management and affairs of his
beloved Presbyterian Church. Over a short period Lawson
played a major role in the growth of Dunedin — taking it
from a small township to a city of remarkable and enduring
Victorian architecture.
Lawson’s most significant works — First Presbyterian Church
of Otago, Knox Presbyterian Church, Larnach Castle, Otago
Boys’ High School, Dunedin Municipal Building — take
their place amongst the country’s most important historical
buildings and grace Dunedin to this day.

Little interest in community building
• By Jess Gibson

for lease at the old Redcliffs
School site has struggled to
gain interest from community
groups.

to help the city

group which
wants to lease the
building.
However,

Toner
wants to form either a new
sub-committee or independent
group to lease and manage it.
The modern building, which
is owned by the city council,
has four rooms and opens out
on to a courtyard overlooking
Redcliffs Park and playing fields.
“It’s such a good building and
I’m sure eventually people will
realise it’s too good to pass up,”
said Ms Toner.
She said the association does
not have an interest in leasing or
managing the building itself.
“It’s still important that it’s
managed locally. We don’t want

City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said staff are
currently conducting an open

find occupants for the building.
The occupants would be
expected to have a building
manager who would oversee
bookings, insurance, security
and cleaning, among other
things.
A meeting will be held on
August 16 at the building
for residents, groups and
organisations to learn more.
Once that has been completed

ABOUT $169,000 will be
distributed to groups and
organisations in Banks Peninsula.
The Banks Peninsula
Community Board has passed 22
applications for funding from its
Loburn School won the year 7 and
8 quiz with 89 points. William
Hassall, 12, Charley Ward, 13,
and Harry Witt, 12, said they
were happy to win the quiz, but
“it wasn’t planned.”
The teams had to find answers
to questions from an Otago Daily
Times newspaper, which caught
them off guard.
Two Hillview Christian School
teams took second and third with
88 and 87 points. Extra! editor
Tricia Rowe was pleased the event
went smoothly.
“The year 7 and 8 group were
really lively, which made the quiz
go fast,” she said. “The lead up to
the event has been stressful, with
balancing writing papers and
writing the quizzes, but I’ve got a
really good team.”
The quiz was run by the
Otago Daily Times through
Extra! – its monthly Newspapers
in Education publication for
primary, intermediate and junior
secondary school pupils.

Libraries
celebrate
160 years
WHEN Christchurch residents
borrowed their first books from
a library, it was from a single
room on High St in 1859.
Now, the 160th birthday of
Christchurch City Libraries
is being celebrated with
the exhibition Illuminate:
Unearthing Treasures from
our Collection, which opened
on Saturday in the Southbase
Gallery at Tūranga. It will run
until October 27.
The exhibition features rare
books, including An Account
of a Voyage Around the World,
by James Cook, published in
1773; original New Zealand
artworks, historic maps, vintage
posters from the 1970s and
1980s, including some printed
by record label Flying Nun and
a typescript of catalogue of the
Universe by Margaret Mahy.
Library branches around
the city will also mark the
anniversary with displays
of historic photographs and
memorabilia.
City council head of libraries
Carolyn Robertson said the
importance of libraries has
grown hugely over the past 160
years.
“It’s amazing to think that
libraries have been serving local
people for so long. In those early
days books were all people could
borrow, but today’s libraries are
a source of so much information
across many different platforms,
as well as being home to a huge
range of programmes and
events.”
“Regardless of changes in
technology, libraries have
always been a place to inspire
knowledge, foster creativity,
challenge our curiosity and meet
other people,” she said.
“This anniversary is a great
opportunity to celebrate that
role. Illuminate is all about
showing how libraries can
open our eyes, and bring new
information to light.”
McCahon painting reunites old girls
• By Sophie Cornish and Claire
Booker
IT WAS 1969 and six young
women who had just finished at
Christchurch Girls’ High wanted
to have a good time at a ball.
They founded the Young Old
Girls’ Association and hosted
their own debutante ball. But
they didn’t expect to make a
profit, let alone enough to buy a
Colin McCahon painting, which
has now become a valuable
collector’s item.
The painting was presented to
the school in 1970 by association
member Jan Hardie at an
assembly.
“When they went along to
the assembly the girls actually
laughed, because they probably
didn’t regard it as a proper
painting in those days . . . we
wanted to present something
that was a bit of a challenge,” said
Annette Hamblett, who was also
a member of the association.
Throughout the 1950s and
early 60s, many school-leavers
went to their formal old girls’
association debutante ball, but
the Young Old Girls’ Association
had no interest in making a
‘debut’.
And they didn’t want to go to a
ball with no alcohol, and ‘stuffy’
old girls, so they took matters
into their own hands.
With their own title, the group
organised a venue, popular
dance band The Chapta, food,
drink and then advertised the
vent everywhere.
“When I think about it now,
we were quite bold, we booked
one of the biggest venues, the
horticultural hall, which used to
be on the corner of Oxford Tce
and Gloucester St,” Ms Hamblett
said.
Against all odds, they made a
profit and one of the association
members, Susan Battye,
suggested they hold another
event and use the other half of
the profits to gift a painting to
the school.
Ms Battye wrote to one of
New Zealand’s most well-known
painters, Colin McCahon.

McCahon painting. (Below) – Young Old Girls’ Association members Susan Battye, Robyn Scott,
Jan Hardie, Annette Hamblett, Judi McCallum and Cheryl Roblilliard with the McCahon painting
they donated to CGHS 50 years ago.
To their surprise, they received
a very encouraging reply, saying
McCahon would tell his dealer to
give them a good deal.
“And he did. By October 1970,
we had acquired our McCahon:
North Otago landscape, number
19, painted with synthetic
polymer on hardboard,” Ms
Hamblett said.
The group met at their old
school recently to celebrate their
success, and reminisce about
their younger days.
The group members said they
were pleased to see each other
again after 50 years, and enjoyed
seeing the painting in all its
glory.
“It will always be a point of
SOUTHERN VIEW
discussion. It’s not just a placid
thing on the wall. It’s going
to provoke discussion about
what is art, and how can it
represent the environment that
we live in in New Zealand,” Ms
Battye said.
The CGHS art department
now teaches students about
McCahon and his paintings.

Cashmere Tech trio
set for NZ honours
• By Jacob Page
THREE CASHMERE Technical
footballers will represent New
Zealand at age-group level over
the next month.
Lara Wall and Marisa van
der Meer contest the Oceania
Football Confederation (OFC)
under-19 championship with
the New Zealand under-20s at
the end of this month in the
Cook Islands.
Cashmere Technical defender
Jordan Spain is part of the New
Zealand under-23 squad that
will prepare for a two-game
series against Australia next
month.
Both he and Coastal Spirit’s
Sean Liddicoat played a big part
in New Zealand winning the
Pacific Games for the first time,
last month.
Van der Meer, a left back, was
part of the national under-17
team last year.
Wall, a striker, played for
Southern United before moving
to Christchurch in February.
New under-20s coach Gemma
Lewis is excited to begin another
FIFA World Cup qualifying
cycle.
“This is a great group of
players and we are looking

under-17 campaign last year.
forward to the challenge in the
Cook Islands,” she said.
“It is great to have that
experience in the squad for this
championship and we will be
taking nothing for granted as
we look to qualify for the World
Cup next year.”
New Zealand, who have won
the title six times, will head to
the Cook Islands as defending
SPORT
champions and favourites for
the tournament.
The tournament will take place
from August 29 to September
14 with New Zealand being
drawn in Group B with Samoa,
American Samoa and Tahiti.
The winner of the tournament
will qualify for the 2020 FIFA
U-20 Women’s World Cup as
the OFC representatives.
The team will play Samoa on
August 31, Tahiti on September
3 and American Samoa on
September 6.
Spain will be part of the
under-23 squad brought
together for a camp in Auckland
later this month. The goal
of those taking part will be
to secure a place in the New
Zealand squad for the OFC
men’s Olympic qualifying
tournament, which is set to be
staged in Fiji from September 21
to October 5.
The team will take on their
Australian counterparts in a
pair of matches in Australia on
September 6 and 9 respectively.

A place to call home
For Lois, Essie Summers
Retirement Village has proved
the best place to be.
Lois enjoys her sunny
hospital room the most and
loves the fact that she has the
choice to go out and about with
other residents on van outings
or spend a quiet afternoon in
her room.
Lois got married in 1965 and
helped her husband Tom on
their Marlborough property,
Kilkishen Farm. The couple
raised their three children
Steve, Kevin and Louise. They
also farmed sheep and cattle,
which made for a busy life, her
daughter Louise says.
Eventually the children were
sent to boarding schools in
Christchurch.
“They lived on that farm for
50 years, my mother was loved
in the community, she helped
out on the farm, kept chickens
and had a big garden,” says
Louise.
“My father died in 2008 and
she lived on the farm for ten
years after my father’s passing.
Eventually she became too frail
to live alone.”
So, mother and daughter
decided on a move to
Christchurch to be near family,
and they set about looking for
a place that suited.
“I needed a place to do things
and go on bus tours but still have
a quiet place to rest,” Lois says.
They visited a few places
before deciding on Essie
Summers. The clincher for
them was the atmosphere at
the village.
“The staff are really nice,
and the meals are fantastic,”
Lois says.
“I like not cooking my meals,”
she laughs.
She’s as active as she can be
in the village.
“The activities are good, and I
Lois, pictured with Clinical Manager Melanie, is happy to call Essie Summers home
love the knitting group. We meet
up once a week to have a chat.”
Her sunny room is decorated
with photos of the farm and
family, and little ornaments of
birds.
“My room gets most of the
afternoon sun, which I love.”
Essie Summers Retirement
Village offers a range of
retirement living and care
options. Residents can live
independently in a townhouse
or receive assistance in a
serviced apartment, and there
is also a care centre offering
resthome, hospital, and
specialist dementia care.
Residents can relax or meet
their friends in the village centre
where the amenities include
indoor bowls, a grand atrium,
library, hair salon, and terrace.
Clinical Manager Melanie
Asuncion says the team puts an
emphasis on getting to know
new residents to help them
settle in.
“We try to know as much
about our residents and their
families. Each morning I do
my rounds so that I can touch
base with every resident. It’s
not just about their health but
their likes and dislikes. Our
care plans reect that.”
“It’s personalised care. A
holistic approach to their
social life too.”
“The Ryman difference for me
is that we are family oriented.”
For Melanie it’s important
that the staff understand
how important kindness and
friendliness is.
“It’s the basis of our care. It
creates a friendly vibe which
makes our staff approachable
to everyone, and that’s essential
for our work.”
Activities coordinators also
tailor activities for the residents.
“For example, we have a
resident who loves to read, so
one of our activities with her
is to have a book review with
her every week,” says Melanie
smiling.
For Lois, Essie Summers has
indeed become her home.
“I do like the social life at
the village,” she says, “but my
favourite thing is that the staff
are kind. You can’t ask for more
than that.”
And for her daughter seeing
her mum’s health improve
means so much.
“She’s made a remarkable
recovery and it means the
world to me.”
Retirement
living and care
at its best!

Redcliffs couple make waves in Hawaii
• By Jess Gibson
A REDCLIFFS couple has
returned from their trip to
Hawaii with extra luggage.
Annie Crombie, 51, and
husband Terry Beentjes, 53,
each bagged two awards after
placing in the 2019 US Slalom
Windsurfing Nationals in Maui
from July 27 to 29.
Crombie won sport section
and finished third in the
women’s competition, while
Beentjes finished second in both
the semi-pro and men’s 40-59
racing events.
“We’re stoked,” Crombie said.
“We didn’t have any expectations
to be on the podium.”
Both took part in 24 races over
the three-day event and had only
trained for one week in the lead
up to the competition.
“We came out of winter and
haven’t windsurfed since February
so it was a hard seven days.
I got blisters all over my hands
and feet,” Crombie said.
She said they stayed fit before
heading over by mountain biking
and doing yoga.
Beentjes almost opted out of
competing after he broke his
thumb the day after the flights
were booked.
“He was only three weeks out
of his plaster when he competed.
Once we got up there the vibe
of the event got a hold of him,”
Crombie said.
The couple had more than
just awards to celebrate during
the prize-giving as it was on the
same day as their 31st wedding
anniversary.
Crombie and Beentjes have
both been windsurfing since the
early 1990s and have competed
in many competitions in New
Zealand and overseas.
SPORT
SUCCESS:
Terry
Beentjes,
53, and
wife Annie
Crombie, 51,
came away
from the 2019
US Slalom
Windsurfing
Nationals in

awards each.
Crombie said their two
teenage daughters, Kate and
Emma, have been all “around
the world to windy places.”
Club aims
to boost
squash
numbers
THE SUMNER Tennis and
Squash Club wants to prevent
squash from fading as a sport.
It will host the Canterbury
masters and under-23 squash
tournaments on August 17 and
18 as part of its efforts to promote
the game in the region.
Said club president Phil
Loughnan: “hopefully, this will
be the first of many, with the club
reintroducing a Sumner open
next year.”
“Squash nationally is a fading
game, but it’s a great game the
club is committed to growing,”
Mr Loughnan said.
He said it will be a great
opportunity to showcase the
club’s rejuvenated facilities,
which are “arguably the best in
Christchurch.”
The club on Heberden Ave
has spent more than $1 million
renovating the squash and tennis
courts and associated facilities
which were reopened late last
year.
“The courts have new floors and
lighting and have been heavily
insulated to give excellent playing
conditions,” he said.

Simple ways to cut back on the calories
Making a simple swap from
pastry to a tortilla wrap
instantly brings down the
calories. Filled with fresh
ingredients, these samosas
and simple chicken curry
recipes are a great way to
eat well and lose weight
Samosas
Makes 6
Prep time 10min
Cooking time 15min
Ingredients
2 medium potatoes, peeled and
diced into 1cm pieces
75g frozen peas
Low-calorie cooking spray
½ onion, diced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp grated root ginger
Generous pinch of chilli powder
½ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp garam masala
30g spinach
Juice of ½ lemon
Sea salt
3 low-calorie tortilla wraps, cut
in half
1 egg, beaten
Fresh coriander, to serve
Directions
Cook the diced potatoes in a
pan of boiling salted water for
5min, then drain. Cook the peas
in boiling salted water and drain.
Heat the oven to 200 deg C
(fan 180 deg C) and line a baking
tray with some greaseproof
paper or baking paper.
Spray a pan with some lowcalorie
cooking spray and place
over a medium heat. Add the
onion, garlic and ginger and
cook for 3-4min until softened
but not browned, then add the
spices and cook for another
minute. Stir in the cooked potato
and mash it slightly with a fork
or the back of a spoon before
adding the uncooked spinach,
lemon juice and peas. Add a
pinch of salt and stir.
Brush the edges of the halved
wraps with the beaten egg. Fold
each half into a cone shape and
seal the edge, leaving the top
open to add the filling.
Divide the filling equally
between the wraps, being careful
not to overfill them (if you do,
you will not be able to seal them
properly).
Brush the open end of the
wraps with some more beaten
egg, leave for 30-40sec, until it
becomes tacky, then press the
edges together firmly. ]
You can use a fork to do this,
but be careful not to rip the
wrap. Arrange the samosas on
the tray.
Brush each samosa with plenty
of beaten egg, make sure the
edges are sealed, then place in
the oven for 10min, or until they
are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and
serve warm. You can also
allow to cool, wrap in baking
parchment and freeze for
another day.
Super simple chicken curry
Serves 4
Prep time 5min
Cooking time 30min
Ingredients
Low-calorie cooking spray
1 large onion, sliced
450g chicken breast (skin and
visible fat removed), diced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
400ml water
3 Tbsp curry powder
1 Tbsp ground turmeric
1 Tbsp tomato puree
Sea salt and freshly ground black
pepper
To serve (optional)
Samosas (see previous recipe)
Cooked rice
Ingredients
Spray a large frying pan with
low-calorie cooking spray and
place over a medium heat.
Add the onion and cook for
2min until softened slightly,
then add the diced chicken to
the pan and cook for 5min until
browned.
Add the garlic to the pan and
cook for 1min, then add all the
other ingredients. The water
should just about cover the
chicken – you may need a little
more or less depending on the
size of your pan.
Leave to simmer gently for
20min.
Turn the heat up and boil the
curry for another 5min, stirring
frequently to ensure it doesn’t
catch on the bottom of the pan,
this will reduce and thicken the
sauce slightly.
Serve the curry with your
choice of accompaniment.
Tip: This curry recipe works
well with lean diced lamb (all
visible fat removed) too.
