Sadly, the Homeland dining room finished its last service last Sunday, but the good news is the Homeland Cooking School continues at Westhaven Drive until the end of July. Go online to book May classes now and keep an eye on the website as June and July classes will be loaded soon. See available classes and book now at homelandnz.com.

EAT

Do you still need to book a restaurant for Mother’s Day next Sunday? In Britomart, Cafe Hanoi is open for Mother’s Day lunch and dinner and Ghost Street is open for dinner. The restaurants’ pastry chef Eloise has created a special dessert just for the occasion — Marou Chocolate Bombe, presented with raspberry lychee macaron and white chocolate rose. Mothers will receive a complimentary glass of bubbles too, on the day. Book at cafehanoi.co.nz and ghoststreetakl.nz.
