Wednesday October 18 2023 Selwyn Times Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 25 Sixty years of cooking for others WHEN SHE was 7-yearsold, Tina Duncan could turn out a perfect batch of scones. By the age of 10, she was confident enough in the kitchen to turn out a full roast dinner. Now, after a lifetime of cooking for others, Duncan still loves it. That’s just as well since she says people are often afraid to cook for her. “Everybody wants you when they know you love food. They want you to do the food. They want you to look after them, they want you to cook for them. It’s just my love language, really,” she said. Duncan is a self-taught cook, caterer, cooking school tutor and now author of a new book Plated: A lifetime love affair with food. With thousands of recipes to choose from, she wanted Plated to reflect not only her catering experiences but also her culinary upbringing on the family far, “There’s things there from my grandmother, my grandmother’s brawn recipe because I adore brawn . . . it’s got my mother’s shortbread, it’s got cinnamon oysters that my mother always made, there’s lots of lovely things from my childhood as well as things moving in through my years. “My mother was an extraordinary cook, and you know, you grow up in a family and you don’t know how wonderful your mother was until you go to other places and realise that not everybody was eating what you were eating at home. “We ate beautiful meats. We ‘We had the most extraordinary vegetable garden that my father grew and (my mother) was really happy to teach me. I just found my place in the kitchen with her, and she was wonderful’ – Tina Duncan had the most extraordinary vegetable garden that my father grew and (my mother) was really happy to teach me. I just found my place in the kitchen with her, and she was wonderful.” When she left school Duncan became a dental nurse but left that career to travel overseas. “What you did when you were doing your OE, the easiest thing to do was to slot into a restaurant somewhere. That’s what I did when I got to London, I went with my sister and I worked in a restaurant, and then I just carried on with that pattern. “When I came home, we bought a service station in the North Island. I was always having dinner parties. And then eventually when we moved south, I worked in a cafe because we were farming, and farmers weren’t making money in those days. So I worked in a local cafe and did catering, and then I kind of got sucked into a catering company in Christchurch and in the end I bought it.” Over the years, Duncan and her White Tie Catering team – which has included her four daughters – have provided food for thousands and thousands of events. “One night we did a huge dinner in Christchurch, in Hagley Park and there were 11 cabinet ministers there and the Prime Minister and I remember the head chef turning to me and saying, ‘Tina, we could bring the country to its knees tonight!’” Duncan struggles to recall a total catering disaster, but in the book she does share the story of a wedding cake that nearly wasn’t. “It was a big deal, this wedding cake, because I had three meetings about it, and it was supposed to be me making it. There was a red carpet down the middle of the Great Hall in Christchurch with the cake at the end. And I hadn’t made it. • Turn to page 28 Speed Management Plan 2024–2034 Our vision: safer roads.
