Cycleway scrapped in east<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

PLANS FOR a cycleway in<br />

Aranui have been axed.<br />

The plans were declined by the<br />

Waitai Costal-Burwood-Linwood<br />

Community Board due to safety<br />

issues, no funding, and being<br />

heavily opposed by the public.<br />

An offer of 90 per cent<br />

funding from Waka Kotahi for<br />

the Government’s Streets for<br />

People programme saw proposed<br />

changes to Breezes Rd, which<br />

if successful, would have been<br />

trialled until June 2024.<br />

The Streets for People<br />

programme is set up to help<br />

make streets safer and easier for<br />

all road users, and trialling street<br />

changes ensures any permanent<br />

solution meets the needs of the<br />

community.<br />

Two options were presented<br />

to the community board for<br />

changes along Breezes Rd: One,<br />

a separated unidirectional cycle<br />

lane on both sides of Breezes Rd<br />

going between the Chisnallwood<br />

Intermediate pedestrian crossing<br />

and Pages Rd; the other a twoway<br />

bi-directional cycleway<br />

starting on the southern side of<br />

Breezes Rd (near Chisnallwood<br />

Intermediate) and<br />

crossing to the north at<br />

the Avondale golf course<br />

pedestrian crossing.<br />

It would return to the<br />

southern side at the<br />

Haeata Community<br />

Campus crossing,<br />

finishing on Pages Rd<br />

after crossing back to<br />

the northern side at a<br />

newly created pedestrian<br />

crossing at on Breezes<br />

Rd.<br />

Paul<br />

McMahon<br />

Said board chair Paul<br />

McMahon: “The board<br />

recommended to staff<br />

council that neither<br />

option was taken. This<br />

isn’t a matter of not<br />

supporting cycleways, as<br />

the east does need proper<br />

cycleways.<br />

“Other aspects of the<br />

Streets for People project<br />

are great. These options<br />

were just not viable<br />

and didn’t have the<br />

flexibility to work<br />

through the implications of the<br />

trial period.<br />

“This recommendation will<br />

go to the council, where they<br />

will have to decide whether to<br />

support the trial or not.”<br />

The implications of one of the<br />

options included a total loss of<br />

69 per cent of Breezes Rd car<br />

parking (45 parks retained, 102<br />

lost).<br />

The other option involved 88<br />

per cent parking loss (18 retained<br />

and 129 lost), new on-street<br />

parking loss from 108–126<br />

Breezes Rd.<br />

PLANTER BOXES were the<br />

perfect canvas for budding young<br />

artists working to make Aranui’s<br />

streets more people friendly.<br />

Pupils from Chisnallwood<br />

Intermediate have decorated<br />

the boxes outside the shops on<br />

Hampshire St with murals<br />

related to the shop they were<br />

outside.<br />

There are chips for the fish<br />

and chip shop, people from the<br />

neighbourhood, flowers and even<br />

a kiwi on a surfboard.<br />

Calleigh’s design, which is outside<br />

the Hampshire Mini Mart,<br />

features the shop’s customers.<br />

“It’s great,” Calleigh said. “I<br />

could do this sort of thing every<br />

single day.<br />

“I’ve seen a lot of murals<br />

around town, and I took inspiration<br />

from those.”<br />

The students were mentored<br />

by local artist Brandon Warrell,<br />

whose art is featured throughout<br />

Christchurch.<br />

A big YES for eco-friendly pet food<br />

FINDING<br />

SOLUTIONS:<br />

Mariella Howard<br />

and Natalie Berie<br />

won the inaugural<br />

Environment<br />

Canterbury<br />

regional excellence<br />

award for<br />

environmental<br />

solutions for their<br />

sustainable dog<br />

treats.<br />

PHOTO: ECAN<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

THE PET food market is a<br />

lucrative business and two<br />

teenagers are intent on getting a<br />

slice of it.<br />

Mariella Howard of<br />

Hillsborough and Natalie Berie<br />

of Shirley, both 17, have set up<br />

For Earth, which makes dog<br />

treats from out-of-shape fruit<br />

and vegetables that can’t be sold<br />

commercially.<br />

The pair are university bound<br />

next year after finishing up at<br />

Hagley College.<br />

Mariella’s four-year-old german<br />

shorthaired pointer, Archie,<br />

was the inspiration for their<br />

company, which was recognised<br />

at the Young Enterprise Scheme<br />

awards night.<br />

The teenagers received the<br />

regional excellence award for environmental<br />

solutions, sponsored<br />

by Environment Canterbury, as<br />

their focus was to be environmentally<br />

friendly while raising<br />

awareness of food waste.<br />

Said Natalie: “Mariella and I<br />

decided to enrol in the Young<br />

Enterprise Scheme and sell dog<br />

treats, but needed to have some<br />

kind of irresistible selling point.<br />

“They were already fruit and<br />

vegie-based, so it wasn’t too far<br />

of a leap to start using ugly/misshapen<br />

ingredients. Simultaneously,<br />

this helped our marketing<br />

and gave us a lot to talk about<br />

when asked about our product.”<br />

YES is delivered by Ara Te<br />

Pūkenga, and throughout the<br />

year the students scored depending<br />

on how successfully they<br />

completed challenges.<br />

Natalie and Mariella received<br />

84 marks out of a possible 100.<br />

“On its own, it wasn’t substantial<br />

enough to get us any awards,<br />

but what set us aside was the ecofriendly<br />

focus of our business,”<br />

said Natalie.<br />

“Every aspect was optimised<br />

to be as sustainable as possible,<br />

which ultimately led to us winning<br />

the YES regional excellence<br />

award.”<br />

There were seven awards across<br />

several categories presented<br />

on the night. Other winners<br />

included a book production company,<br />

students who made bags<br />

and aprons for their teachers,<br />

cup holder creators, and a decal<br />

company.<br />

ECan councillor Greg Byrnes,<br />

one of three judges for the award,<br />

said For Earth stood out.<br />

“We chose For Earth from<br />

Hagley Community College to<br />

receive this award because they<br />

considered sustainability in<br />

every step of their process,” said<br />

Byrnes.<br />

“Like many Cantabrians, we<br />

also love our pets, and thought<br />

it was great that For Earth had<br />

created such a practical and easy<br />

way for people to make a positive<br />

change to their purchasing<br />

habits.”<br />

TOP DOG: Mariella’s dog<br />

Archie was the inspiration<br />

for the students’ company,<br />

JUMPSTART<br />

LAUNCH YOUR PROPERTY<br />

TO THE MARKET IN JAN<br />

As we get ready to welcome<br />

<strong>2023</strong>, I want to let you in on a<br />

special offer I've put together<br />

called the 'January Jumpstart'.<br />

It's aimed at homeowners<br />

thinking about selling and<br />

wanting to get a great start to<br />

the new year.<br />

January is a bit different in the<br />

real estate world. There are<br />

usually fewer homes for sale, but<br />

lots of buyers are still out there<br />

looking. This means if you're<br />

selling, you've got less<br />

competition and more eyes on<br />

your property. It's a great chance<br />

to stand out and possibly get<br />

better offers.<br />

So, what's in the January<br />

Jumpstart? First, there's a really<br />

competitive commission rate of<br />

just $15,000 + GST. Plus, I'm<br />

throwing in a $500 voucher for<br />

home prep. This can help with<br />

staging or making little<br />

improvements to make sure<br />

your home looks its best.<br />

I'm keeping this offer to just five<br />

spots. This way, I can give each<br />

home the attention it deserves<br />

and really focus on getting the<br />

best results. Just remember, the<br />

last day to sign up is <strong>December</strong><br />

20th. I'm looking forward to<br />

helping you make a great start<br />

to 2024.<br />

Term 4 - From the Tumuaki<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School<br />

Te Kura Kohine o Ōtākaro<br />

Educating and empowering young women<br />

to achieve now and in the future.<br />

Ko Hine-Titama koe nānā i puta ki te whai ao ki te ao mārama<br />

Ko Hine-Titama koe nānā i puta ki te whai ao ki<br />

te ao mārama<br />

This school whakatauki speaks to the atua<br />

wahine Hine-Titema and seeking the light.<br />

The story of Hine Titama is one of female<br />

transformation and female self-determination, a<br />

story of agency and defining your own narrative.<br />

For our staff, students and community at Te<br />

Kura Kohine o Ōtakaro/Avonside Girls’ High<br />

School coming out of ‘the covid years’ into<br />

<strong>2023</strong> has been about redefining our identity,<br />

leaning into our values and aspirations, and<br />

connecting with our local community. This year<br />

our young people have set about transforming<br />

our school and spaces through their leadership,<br />

feedback and voice. They have been involved in<br />

professional development work with teachers,<br />

feedback to the Board and decision making with<br />

the Senior Leadership Team. Our students have<br />

continued to lead the school culture as can be<br />

seen in so many of these photos. There have<br />

been so many sports, cultural and academic<br />

success and these were celebrated in our Sports<br />

Awards night, Our Whakaui Awards night, FiaFIa<br />

Awards night and Senior and Junior Prizegiving.<br />

When I started at Avonside I spoke about the<br />

importance of the whakatauki, ‘Kia whakatōmuri<br />

te haere whakamua’. I walk backwards into the<br />

future with my eyes fixed on my past. Whilst<br />

we may look at the photographs of our past<br />

and see gym tunics and straw hats as archaic<br />

and traditional, the story of single sex schools<br />

for young women has been far from archaic<br />

and traditional. It has always been, even<br />

95 years ago for our kura, about providing<br />

an educational space for young women to<br />

thrive, be empowered through education to<br />

innovate, create and lead society with a critical<br />

and challenging voice. These aspirations and<br />

drivers continue to be important today as<br />

we look forward. Ninety-five years on similar<br />

challenges still face our young women in the<br />

world in which they will work and lead. In our<br />

kura we also embrace the challenges for our<br />

transgender and LGBTQI community within our<br />

school and it has been essential for us to ensure<br />

our empowerment of these young people and<br />

their voice at Avonside. Our school value of Kia<br />

Tu (standing tall in your identity) is at the heart<br />

of what we do and celebrate and at the heart<br />

of real equity. We talk about kia Maia with our<br />

students, the courage that is needed every day<br />

in both small and large spaces. The courage<br />

needed to attempt that new learning, the<br />

courage to stand and speak, and the courage<br />

to lead. At this time, I have been reflecting how<br />

we all as the adults need to feel empowered<br />

to be courageous too for our young people.<br />

The courage to hold firm to what we value and<br />

believe is important within our school space<br />

for our students to be empowered to thrive in<br />

their identity. Regardless of the winds blowing<br />

through politics and media, our job is to hold<br />

the tiller strong and steady and sail in the<br />

direction we know will protect and transform<br />

our young people to stand in their identity and<br />

self-determine their future. We will continue<br />

to ensure there is a wairua in which all our<br />

young people belong strong in their identity.<br />

We continue to support your young people to<br />

aim high – ki te ao marama – academically and<br />

as connected, courageous and compassionate<br />

leaders.<br />

We do this in partnership as a community –<br />

and I want to thank all those in our community<br />

who contribute in so many ways to our school;<br />

as coaches, managers, on the Board, turning<br />

up to parent events, feeding back in surveys,<br />

getting in touch with concerns. A huge thank<br />

you to all the manaakitanga and community<br />

support from you as whanau. There are so<br />

many things at Avonside we cannot do without<br />

your support and together we are a community<br />

that empowers our young people to thrive in all<br />

areas of their teenage lives. Your contribution<br />

matters and we cannot do what we do here to<br />

nurture your young person without our whanau.<br />

Enjoy these photos of the last part of <strong>2023</strong>.<br />

Well done to all our amazing students who<br />

are inspiring to work with every day.<br />

Young flautists inspired by<br />

Russian music teacher<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

MUSIC TEACHER Natasha<br />

Chernousova has hit the<br />

right note with two of her<br />

students taking out awards in<br />

an international online-based<br />

championship.<br />

Louise Chen, of Halswell,<br />

won the 13 to <strong>14</strong>-year-old age<br />

category and Claire Kim, of<br />

Ilam, won the 13 to 16-year-old<br />

creative presentation.<br />

Said Chernousova, who lives<br />

in New Brighton: “The student<br />

response was great, they look<br />

forward to this competition<br />

every year and they train and<br />

practice a lot.<br />

“Our students did very well<br />

and put little New Zealand on<br />

the map.”<br />

Chernousova learned to play<br />

the flute when she was six or<br />

seven years old, in her home city<br />

of Perm, Russia.<br />

She later performed in the<br />

orchestra of the Perm Theatre of<br />

Opera and Ballet in Russia from<br />

1999 to 2012, where she travelled<br />

around Europe, America and<br />

Canada.<br />

“It was among my fondest<br />

memories, as every day we met<br />

new people, experienced different<br />

cultures and learnt about<br />

many countries,” she said.<br />

The theatre is about 1000km<br />

from Moscow and is often<br />

named “Tchaikovsky’s House”<br />

after Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky,<br />

who was born near Perm in<br />

1840.<br />

It presents all stage works<br />

of Tchaikovsky, including the<br />

ballets Swan Lake and The<br />

Nutcracker, the 1812 Overture,<br />

the Romeo and Juliet Overture-<br />

Fantasy, and several symphonies.<br />

“After my time in the theatre, I<br />

met a very nice Kiwi man online,<br />

Eric Reeves, and talked to him<br />

for several months before we<br />

met in Phuket, Thailand. We<br />

had a wonderful holiday,” said<br />

Chernousova.<br />

A short while later, Chernousava<br />

decided to make the move<br />

to New Zealand and married<br />

Reeves in 2016. A few months<br />

later, she began to teach flute to<br />

her first students.<br />

Chernousova has taught the<br />

flute to year 9 Burnside High<br />

School student Louise for seven<br />

years and year 9 Rangi Ruru<br />

Girls’ School student Claire Kim<br />

for more than four years.<br />

Both girls were also highly<br />

commended for their performance<br />

in the U16s ensemble,<br />

where they performed together.<br />

NOTEWORTHY: Natasha Chernousova with flute students<br />

Louise Chen and Claire Kim.<br />

They are both on their way to<br />

reaching their goals as professional<br />

musicians.<br />

“Music is my passion. I aim<br />

to inspire and challenge my<br />

students to become the best<br />

possible versions of themselves<br />

inside and outside of music,” said<br />

Chernousova.<br />

“My goal is to make every lesson<br />

as productive, educational,<br />

and fulfilling as possible. I aim<br />

to provide the students the<br />

tools and resources to be able to<br />

achieve what they wish for.”<br />

She teaches the flute, recorder,<br />

piccolo and piano to both adult<br />

and young students, and offers<br />

beginner and advanced lessons<br />

privately at Natasha’s Music<br />

Studio.<br />

Chernousova also teaches<br />

part-time at Cashmere High<br />

School and Avonside Girls High,<br />

and plays for the Philharmonic<br />

Orchestra and the Risingholme<br />

Orchestra.<br />

Lots of<br />

people<br />

opposed<br />

to plan<br />

• From page 1<br />

It also included a cul-de-sac<br />

on Gosport St at Breezes Rd<br />

as through traffic cannot<br />

safely negotiate the two-way<br />

cycleway proposed for this side<br />

of the road.<br />

There would have also been<br />

a painted lane for cyclists at<br />

the Avondale golf course and<br />

Haeata Community Campus<br />

pedestrian crossings, and an<br />

additional pedestrian crossing<br />

with a painted lane for cyclists<br />

to cross outside 257/276<br />

Breezes Rd.<br />

Said<br />

community<br />

board member<br />

Kelly<br />

Barber: “A<br />

lot of people<br />

were overwhelmingly<br />

Kelly Barber<br />

opposed to<br />

the changes.<br />

I had only one resident who<br />

supported the cycleway when<br />

I went door-knocking to find<br />

out what residents wanted.<br />

“A few quick wins won’t fix<br />

a long-term problem. Though<br />

a lot of the changes made good<br />

sense, and while it would be<br />

good to have another option, it<br />

needs to be a permanent one.”<br />

Centre lacks extra funds to help<br />

CHOLMONDELEY Children’s<br />

Centre has seen demand for<br />

its services climb as the cost of<br />

living bites.<br />

The centre in Governors<br />

Bay provides free respite care<br />

for children and support for<br />

families.<br />

Centre general manager Toni<br />

Tinirau said in recent years<br />

there has been<br />

a constant<br />

demand for its<br />

services.<br />

She said there<br />

were “countless<br />

weekly phone<br />

inquiries” and a<br />

Toni Tinirau<br />

current wait list<br />

of 51 children.<br />

In the 2022-<br />

<strong>2023</strong> financial year 351 children<br />

from 295 families accessed<br />

the centre’s facilities. It was<br />

an increase on the 2021-2022<br />

financial year which saw 331<br />

children from 267 families, and<br />

the 2020–2021 year with 318<br />

children from 229 families.<br />

Said Tinirau: “The need for<br />

our services hasn’t gone away, it’s<br />

grown. And as the cost of living<br />

puts more pressure on whānau<br />

doing it tough, it’s only natural<br />

there’ll be more demand.”<br />

The centre has 23 beds to stay<br />

overnight and on average only 17<br />

of these beds are occupied.<br />

“It’s my dream to have every<br />

one of those 23 beds filled every<br />

night. But it’s just not achievable<br />

at the moment because we<br />

don’t have the funding or the<br />

resources.<br />

“The space is there, the<br />

demand is there, we are just<br />

lacking the consistent financial<br />

support. It’ll cost an additional<br />

estimated $250,000 annually<br />

to have all 23 beds filled every<br />

night,” said Tinirau.<br />

Cholmondeley costs $2.8<br />

million to run each year with<br />

20 per cent covered by the<br />

Government. The remaining 80<br />

per cent is generated through<br />

community fundraising.<br />

Said Tinirau: “We have been<br />

looking really closely at how to<br />

raise the much needed funds<br />

for Cholmondeley as it’s been a<br />

difficult time globally to raise<br />

funds for charities.”<br />

She said children are given<br />

round-the-clock care, outdoor<br />

experiences, learning activities<br />

designed to build wellbeing<br />

and resilience, and a fun<br />

environment where they are only<br />

asked “to be kids”.<br />

“The support Cholmondeley<br />

provides doesn’t stop when<br />

tamariki turn 12. It also has the<br />

‘Awhi Team’ (care team) made up<br />

of social workers, youth workers<br />

and whānau ora navigators who<br />

walk alongside whānau in their<br />

own homes to address issues<br />

they’re facing.<br />

“We support tamariki coming<br />

from homes where there<br />

could be issues with health,<br />

accommodation, interpersonal<br />

relationships, single-parent<br />

whānau, family violence,<br />

family harm, mental health or<br />

addiction.<br />

“We just need Cantabrians’<br />

help. Do not underestimate the<br />

level of support you can provide<br />

a charity like Cholmondeley.<br />

Never think that you could never<br />

give enough, because whatever<br />

you can do, however you can<br />

support us, will certainly help<br />

our whānau,” she said.

Te Aratai College:<br />

Te tua o Paerangi<br />

Above the entrance to Te Puna, our kura<br />

auditorium, we have the Whakataukī relevant<br />

to this time of year: Titiro whakamuri, kia anga<br />

whakamua: Look to the past in order to move<br />

forward. It is an exciting new year for us to<br />

look forward to as our kura turns 70 years old.<br />

But before we move into all the iterations and<br />

innovations the new year will bring us, we would<br />

like to appreciate some of the wonderful things<br />

our ākonga have accomplished this year.<br />

Scholarship recipients Mark Lemon, Destiny<br />

Martin, Connor Armstrong, Jason Prakash,<br />

Imogen Donnelly and Mae Ibo<br />

At our Senior Prizegiving, we celebrated<br />

the extraordinary achievement of our senior<br />

scholarship winners. These deserving students<br />

demonstrated the values of the scholarship<br />

requirements across several universities:<br />

academic achievement, resilience, leadership,<br />

excellence, cultural contributions, social<br />

engagement, overcoming adversity, and many<br />

other indicators. Our students were thoroughly<br />

deserving of financial and personal support, and<br />

these scholarships will provide an amazing boost<br />

as they kickstart their tertiary journey. With the<br />

fees, cash, catered accommodation, summer<br />

school programmes and mentoring support, the<br />

photo from our Prizegiving Evening represents<br />

over $70,000 that universities have invested in Te<br />

Aratai College students for their future pathways -<br />

an amazing achievement.<br />

Kindness Collective, a volunteer group of ākonga<br />

who collected litter around the school grounds,<br />

oversaw positive affirmations written by students<br />

for their peers and acknowledged school staff<br />

for their hard mihi. The group was also featured<br />

in national news media for their initiative at the<br />

Aldwins House retirement home, regularly visiting<br />

residents to kōrero or play pool, embracing the<br />

goodwill in their community.<br />

This year we also saw five learners participate<br />

in “Word: The Front Line Ōtautahi,” a spoken<br />

word poetry slam. This was the first time the<br />

competition was held in the South Island, held at<br />

The Piano Event Center in August. The night was<br />

full of amazing orator-performers from 5 different<br />

schools who explored a variety of topics like<br />

identity, diversity, rugby and Shakespeare. The Te<br />

Aratai team performers practised hard, attending<br />

weekend workshops to make sure their poems<br />

were interesting, catchy, and most importantly<br />

“felt.” It was an extraordinary night to be part of<br />

with incredibly moving and provocative poetry<br />

performed by so many young, talented poets from<br />

across Ōtautahi-Christchurch.<br />

Blake Williams, Connor Armstrong and<br />

Thomas Rhoades in the YES Dragon’s Den<br />

In our business school, we saw the success of<br />

an inspiring business venture, spearheaded by<br />

a group of Te Aratai College students. “Decalify”<br />

was an entrepreneurial endeavour that made an<br />

impressive impact with its cultural window decal<br />

designs and fully youth-run business model.<br />

Throughout the year the business team were<br />

placed 1st in the Canterbury Young Enterprise<br />

Dragon’s Den event, successfully awarded<br />

the contract to place all the window decals on<br />

Kindness Foundation’s (Previously YMCA) new<br />

$44 million building on Rolleston Avenue, and<br />

awarded 1st Place Finance, 1st Place Enterprise<br />

Technology, and 2nd Place Rangatahi New<br />

Zealand Young Enterprise in the In Canterbury<br />

Young Enterprise Competition.<br />

On the sports field, Te Aratai and the Under <strong>14</strong><br />

Boys’ Rugby team had a historic season in <strong>2023</strong>.<br />

This group of young men ended up being graded<br />

in the top division of Under <strong>14</strong> Boys’ Rugby,<br />

Division One, Section One. From there, the group<br />

did two special things; beating Christ’s College<br />

to win the Challenge Cup which is essentially<br />

the Ranfurly Shield of the Under <strong>14</strong> division, and<br />

then defending this until the end of the season<br />

and earning the right to have Te Aratai College<br />

engraved on it for the first time. They also then<br />

finished top of the table after the round robin<br />

and beat Christchurch Boys’ High and Christ’s<br />

College on the way to winning the final of Division<br />

One, Section One. Te Aratai College is the first<br />

co-educational school to achieve this.<br />

To us all, whatever 2024 brings for each one of<br />

us, and it will be different for me too, ngā mihi<br />

nui and best wishes for the festive season and<br />

summer ahead. I leave this school so enriched<br />

by everything that I have been able to learn from<br />

you all over the years on my own pathway to the<br />

sea at Linwood HS - Linwood College - Te Aratai<br />

College.<br />

celebrate the inspiring effort of Smriti Parajuli with<br />

the Te Aratai College Community Service Award.<br />

Showstopping Christmas treats<br />

Roasted hazelnut and<br />

espresso tiramisu cream<br />

pavlova<br />

Serves 8-10<br />

Pavlova<br />

6 large egg whites<br />

1½ cups caster sugar<br />

1 Tbsp cornflour<br />

2 tsp lemon juice<br />

1 tsp vanilla extract<br />

½ cup roughly chopped roasted<br />

hazelnuts<br />

Tiramisu cream<br />

1 Tbsp instant espresso coffee<br />

granules<br />

2 Tbsp boiling water<br />

250g mascarpone<br />

½ cup cream<br />

4 Tbsp demerara sugar<br />

1/3 cup finely grated dark chocolate<br />

To assemble<br />

300ml cream, softly whipped<br />

Fudgy chocolate sauce (see end)<br />

Hazelnut praline (see end)<br />

Method<br />

Pavlova: Trace a 20cm-diameter<br />

circle on two sheets of baking<br />

paper. Turn the paper over and<br />

place each one on a flat baking<br />

tray.<br />

• Preheat the oven to 120°C<br />

regular bake.<br />

• Whisk the egg whites to soft<br />

peaks, then gradually add the<br />

sugar, one tablespoon at a time.<br />

Whisk until thick and glossy<br />

and the sugar is dissolved. The<br />

mixture should be smooth when<br />

rubbed between your fingertips.<br />

Any undissolved sugar will cause<br />

the meringue to weep.<br />

• Sift over the cornflour and<br />

add the lemon juice, vanilla and<br />

hazelnuts. Using a large metal<br />

spoon, fold into the meringue.<br />

• Spoon half the meringue<br />

into the centre of each circle on<br />

your baking paper, then, using<br />

the back of a large spoon,<br />

carefully spread it to the edge of<br />

the circles, building up the sides<br />

and swirling the top, keeping the<br />

meringue as high as possible.<br />

• Bake for 1 hour, alternating<br />

the trays after 30 minutes.<br />

Turn off the oven and, with the<br />

door closed, leave the meringues<br />

YUM: Two layers<br />

of crisp and<br />

Tiramisu cream: Dissolve the<br />

coffee in the boiling water, then<br />

cool. Place all the remaining<br />

ingredients in a bowl, add the<br />

cooled coffee and very gently<br />

whisk until smooth. Don’t over<br />

mix or it will split and curdle.<br />

Cover and refrigerate for at least<br />

1 hour and up to 24 hours.<br />

To assemble: Gently whisk<br />

the Tiramisu cream and softly<br />

whipped cream together to firmish<br />

peaks. Place one meringue on<br />

a serving plate and spread over<br />

half the cream. Top with the second<br />

meringue and dollop on the<br />

remaining cream. Drizzle with<br />

some fudgy chocolate sauce and<br />

scatter with pieces of hazelnut<br />

praline.<br />

Fudgy chocolate sauce (gf)<br />

Makes 1½ cups<br />

1 cup cream<br />

150g dark chocolate, roughly<br />

chopped (72% cocoa)<br />

2 Tbsp golden syrup<br />

1 tsp vanilla extract<br />

Method<br />

• Put the cream in a small<br />

saucepan and heat until just<br />

below boiling.<br />

• Take off the heat and add the<br />

chocolate.<br />

• Leave for 1 minute, then stir<br />

until smooth.<br />

• Stir in the golden syrup and<br />

vanilla and set aside to cool.<br />

Hazelnut praline (gf)<br />

Makes 1½ cups<br />

1 cup whole roasted hazelnuts<br />

1 cup caster sugar<br />

¼ cup water<br />

Method<br />

• Line a greased baking tray<br />

with baking paper and place the<br />

nuts close together on the tray.<br />

• Put the sugar and water in a<br />

clean saucepan over a medium<br />

heat.<br />

• Whisk to combine, then stop<br />

stirring and wait for the sugar to<br />

become golden in colour, swirling<br />

the pan for even colouring.<br />

• Immediately drizzle it all over<br />

the nuts, then leave to harden.<br />

Break into pieces to serve.<br />

Spiced Christmas schnaps<br />

Weihnachtsschnaps<br />

Ingredients<br />

5 cardamom pods, bruised<br />

Peel of 1 orange, sliced and without<br />

pith<br />

250ml (1 cup) high-quality 37% to<br />

40% spirit, such as korn or gin<br />

1 to 2 heaped tsp runny raw honey<br />

½ vanilla bean, split and seeds<br />

scraped out<br />

1 cinnamon quill<br />

1 cassia stick<br />

8 star anise<br />

2 cloves<br />

Method<br />

• Place spices and orange peel<br />

into a glass bottle that will hold<br />

at least 300ml. Add the spirit and<br />

shake. Close the lid and leave to<br />

infuse for 2–4 days.<br />

• Taste daily to see when you are<br />

happy with the infusion. The longer<br />

you leave the infusion, the more the<br />

anise flavour will develop from the<br />

star anise.<br />

• Strain off the liquid, put the<br />

whole ingredients in the compost<br />

and return the infused spirit to the<br />

bottle.<br />

• Add the honey to taste and<br />

shake vigorously to dissolve it,<br />

about 2 minutes.<br />

• Add the vanilla bean and seeds<br />

and swill the bottle to disperse the<br />

seeds. Let this infuse for at least<br />

another week before serving.<br />

• You can then either remove the<br />

vanilla bean or leave it to continue<br />

infusing.<br />

• Store indefinitely in your drinks<br />

cabinet.<br />
