Liz's sister Jane invited me to attend a fantastic cooking school with her and a group of friends in the Wairarapa. Te Puhi is run by Mary Biggs (formerly of Lavender's Green) out of her home in Featherston. We had such a lovely day learning to make pork belly, a delicious slow cooked red cabbage dish, smoked salmon, lemon posset and more. After being welcomed with a delicious cake and some coffee we wandered around the farm picking greens for the salad and lemons for the posset and walnuts for the salad.
