In August the Otago Polytechnic Culinary Arts Dessert Evening was held.

Students Ester Tamati and Charlotte Murphy, and staff Andrea McSweeney and Helen Reid attended, enjoying a range of innovative dishes. This included a 'plate-your-own' dessert, in which piping bags of chocolate ganache, passionfruit puree and chocolate crumb move around the table as guests constructed towers of sweet delight.
