Steve’s exceptional debut antipodean tour in2017 left audiences stunned by the majesticperformances by Hackett and his virtuoso band.

How do you top that? Come witness thespectacle of Steve Hackett’s incendiary 2020show to see how it’s done!

“Many New Zealandersfeel under enormous financialpressure during the festiveseason.

They’re already finding ithard to pay their bills and putfood on the table and theadded pressure of Christmascan be extremely stressful,”said Jodi.

All Bunnings stores acrossNew Zealand will be sellingsausages on Friday.

“The Sallies do incrediblework supporting those whorequire it the most,” saidBunnings New Zealand gen-eral manager Toby Lawrance.

“Bunnings will provide all

Vegan Christmas Feasts by JackieKearney, published by RylandPeters & Small, photography ClareWinfield distributed by BookrepsNZ, $24.99

A Christmas feastT

he holiday season meansso many different thingsto different people withmany celebratory feasts

traditionally focusing on meat.As a young vegetarian JackieKearney found this quitechallenging.

“Back then,” she says, “a platethat excluded meat was often justa selection of rather plainvegetables.

Then one year Jackieacquired a new vegetarian cookbook. Linda McCartney’s firstcookbook became a game-changer.

“There’s something lovelyabout having plant-basedshowstoppers on the table and itdefinitely encourages morepeople to try the plant-basedalternatives,” says Jackie. “Andof course food made from scratchalways tastes better too.”

Jackie has put together someof her favourite recipes in herbook Vegan Christmas Feasts —it’s worth a look whether you arevegan, vegetarian or a meateater, there’s something you’lllove.

Following is a recipe from thebook:

RAINBOWSILVERBEETTARTLETS WITHBROAD BEAN PUREEThis is a great vegan alternativeto miniature quiches usingnutritious gram/chickpea fl our,and you can incorporatewhatever seasonal vegetablesyou like. Rainbow silverbeetprovides a colourful alternative

to spinach, and you cansubstitute the broad beans forpeas, if you like. The tarts can befrozen after baking and can beserved warm or cold as a starteror sharing platter. The puree alsomakes a pretty bruschett a orcanape topping.

Ingredients■ 1 x 320g ready-rolledshortcrust pastry, 35 x 23cmflour, for dusting■ 120g chickpea flour■ 1⁄2 tsp black salt (or use any)■ 1⁄2 tsp turmeric powder(optional)■ 1⁄2 tsp salt■ 1⁄2 tsp baking powder■ 120g frozen baby broadbeans, or substitute frozenpeas■ 1⁄2 tsp stock powder■ 1⁄2 tsp mint sauce■ 6 — 7 medium-sized stems ofrainbow silverbeet, trimmedand chopped into 3 — 4cmpieces■ a handful of freshly choppedthyme■ a handful of vegan baconcrispy bits (optional)■ 8cm cookie cutter (or 5cmcookie cutter for mini tartlets)■ a non-stick 12-hole muffinpan (or a 24-hole mini muffinpan), lightly greased

MethodPreheat the oven to 180C / Gas

4.Lay or roll out the pastry on a

well-floured surface. Using an8cm cookie cutter (or 5cm cutterfor mini tartlets), cut out 12 (or24) circles. Press the pastrygently into the holes of theprepared muffin pan making

sure of a snug fit. Put the pan inthe preheated oven for 10 — 15minutes until the pastry hasstarted to cook.

Sift the chickpea flour into alarge bowl and add the black salt,turmeric powder (if using), salt,380ml water and baking powder.Whisk to make a smooth batter.Set aside.

Put the broad beans, stockpowder and 100ml of water into asmall pan and bring to a simmerover a medium heat for a fewminutes. Add a little more waterif needed, so that there isapproximately 2 tablespoons ofliquid in the pan after cooking.Remove from the heat, add themint sauce and blend to asmooth, thick puree. Set aside tocool. This mixture can be frozenor made several days in advanceand kept in the fridge.

Put the silverbeet into a smallpan and heat gently over amedium heat until it is justwilted, or microwave for 30seconds to wilt quickly. Put thewilted silverbeet onto papertowels to remove any excess

water.Remove the muffin pan from

the oven. Put a small spoonful ofwilted chard into the pastrycases and then pour over thebatter until each pastry case isalmost filled. Carefully put themuffin pan back into the ovenand bake for a further 30 — 40minutes until the pastry is justgolden and the filling is firm.Remove from the oven. Thetartlets can be served warm or

set aside on a wire rack to cool.When ready to serve, the

tartlets can be gently reheated ina low oven if you like, then pipeor spoon a small swirl of thebroad bean puree on top of eachtartlet.

Decorate with a lightscattering of chopped thyme andsome vegan bacon crispy bits ifyou like.

— Makes 12 tartlets(or 24 mini tartlets)

national treasure.And it’s right here, in the main street of Te

Awamutu.Nine months ago Reverend Julie Guest

was inducted as Vicar of St John’s TeAwamutu.

“During that time I have come to realisethat the history of this place is central to itswork and mission,” said Julie.

“For that reason I have decided to hold aspecial service, An Historic Christmas, whichpeople are invited to dress up for and enjoy

the atmosphere of a traditional Nine Lessonsand Carols.”

Julie says that she would love everyone tocome dressed in mop caps, top hats or the full1900s style if they can.

Nine Lessons and Carols is a service thatincorporates nine short Bible readings orlessons from Genesis interspersed with thesinging of Christmas carols, hymns and choiranthems.

People are invited to join in the traditionalservice just as it would have been celebrated atthe turn of the last century.

A traditional supper will follow.Seating in Old St John’s is limited so be in

early.

CHRISTMASshowstopperBAKEORAMA’SSHOWSTOPPERLIMONCELLO ‘NOG’TRIFLEMy talented pal CharlotteO’Toole created this retro-inspired recipe for our veganChristmas pop-up one year and itwas one of my favourite dishesfrom the banquet. Limoncello isa popular Italian post-dinnerliqueur with a somewhat love/hate following. It can besubstituted with another liqueurthat you may prefer, such asCointreau, or the alcohol can beomitted entirely. Replace thelemons for oranges if usingCointreau.

IngredientsFor the lemon curd:■ 3 Tbsp cornflour■ juice of 5 large lemons(approximately 220 ml/1 cup)■ pinch of salt■ 1 cup minus 1⁄2 Tbspgranulated sugar■ 60ml/1⁄4 cup unsweetenedsoy milk■ 80gvegan butterFor the swiss roll sponge(makes 2 rolls, approximately16 slices):■ 2 cups of unsweetened soymilk■ 11⁄2 cups granulated sugar■ 2 tsp cider vinegar■ 1 cup vegetable oil, such assunflower or rapeseed

■ grated zest of 2 lemons■ 2 1⁄2 cups of self-raising/rising flour■ 2 Tbsp cornflour■ pinch of salt■ 1 tsp baking soda■ 1 tsp baking powderFor the custard:■ 75g custard powder (checkvariety is vegan)■ 1l unsweetened soy milk■ zest of 1⁄2 lime, finely chopped■ 70g plus 1 tsp granulatedsugar■ 1⁄2 tsp vanilla paste or goodquality vanilla extractFor the cream:■ 2 x 200ml plant-based cremefraıche■ 1⁄2 cup plus 1 Tbsp icing sugar■ 1⁄2 tsp vanilla paste or goodquality vanilla essence■ 150 — 250 ml plus1 Tbsplimoncello liqueur (optional)■ 2 Tbsp multi-coloured cakesprinkles■ 1⁄2 tsp edible glitter or otherfestive cake sprinkles(optional)■ sterilized glass jar■ 2 Swiss roll pans, lightlyoiled and lined with bakingpaper

MethodTo make the lemon curd, add

the cornflour and 100ml plus onetablespoon water to a small panand mix well to make a paste.Add the lemon juice, salt andsugar. Put the pan over amedium heat and stir well untilthe sugar has dissolved and the

curd is thickened and smooth.Remove from the heat and addthe soy milk and vegan butter.Whisk well until smooth andglossy. Pour into a sterilized jarif making ahead of time. Thecurd will keep in the fridge for upto 3 weeks.

Next prepare the Swiss rollsponge. Preheat the oven to 160C/ Gas 3. In a large bowl, add thesoy milk, sugar, vinegar, oil andzest. Whisk together until thesugar has dissolved. Sift theflour, cornflour, salt, baking sodaand baking powder into the bowl,then whisk together until thebatter is smooth.

Divide the mixture betweenthe two trays and bake in thepreheated oven for 20 minutes

until slightly golden and cookedthrough.

Place two sheets ofgreaseproof paper on the table,the same length as the bakingtrays.

Allow the sponge to coolslightly for a few minutes, thentip each one onto each of thepapers on the table. Peel off thelining paper, which will now beon the top.

Spread each of the spongeswith the lemon curd. Start to rollthe sponge up into a roll usingthe greaseproof to help curl andsecure the sponge until you havea long roll. Let it sit securely inthe paper with the join at thebottom until ready use.

Trim the end of each roll to

neaten then cutinto eight slicesper roll. Line thebase of a largedeep glass bowlwith the slicesand then arrangedecorativelyaround the edgeso you can see apattern on theoutside. Usinglarge trifle bowl,you will haveapproximatelyhalf Swiss roll leftover. Drizzle theslices generouslywith limoncello ifusing.

Prepare thecustard bymixing thepowder with alittle of the coldmilk to make apaste. Add theremaining milk,

lime zest, sugar and vanilla andplace in a pan on a medium heat.Bring to simmer and whisk wellto make a smooth custard.Remove from heat and coverwith clingfilm/plastic wrap orgreaseproof paper to prevent askin forming on the custard. Setaside to cool.

Once fully cooled, pour thecustard over the Swiss roll slicesand then cover the bowl and setaside in the fridge to set.

Meanwhile prepare thesweetened cream by placing theOatly creme fraiche in a largebowl. Sieve the icing/confectioners’ sugar into thebowl and whisk well to combine.

Once the custard has cooledand set, billow the cream over

the set custard. Cover thetrifle and leave in the fridgeovernight.

Just before serving, scatterthe sprinkles over the top.Scatter with edible glitter too ifyou like.

over 30 trees were registered by local business, commun-ity groups, schools, childcare centres and from localfamilies, which was well up on last year.

And this year the pop-up Christmas Tree Forestincluded a category for Tiny Trees created by schoolchildren.

“Local Police and Fire Brigade teams joined in at thepublic viewings on the Tuesday and Wednesday eveningswhich was a great way for our community to come andshow appreciation for all that they do for us,” said Jamie.

“Quite often they are the unsung heroes within ourcommunity, doing all that they can to keep us safe andprotected throughout the year, he said.”

The public was invited to meet their local heroes beforeentering into the pop-up Christmas Tree Forest to gazeupon the spectacular display, enjoy some musicalentertainment and sample Christmas nibbles.

Jamie is grateful to Noel Leeming and The Warehousefor sponsorship of prizes for the People Choice winners ofthe five to eight year olds and the nine to 12 year olds TinyTree Categories.

Formal judging of the Christmas trees took place onWednesday night so results were too late for thispublication and will be reported next week.

Tree Awamutu was held at Zion (formerly North EndChurch).

Get a taste of Railer atlagwagon.bandcamp.com/album/railer

With this record, Lagwagon have comefull-circle and rediscovered the purest versionof who they’ve always been as a band. Not thatthat feeling was ever really lost in the first place, ofcourse.

“I wouldn’t say ‘lost’,” confirms Cape, “but youevolve. Evolution is a journey within yourself. Yougo on this journey and it takes you wherever ittakes you, there are multiple people along the waythat you meet who have different ideas than youand as you grow, you get into different things alongthe way. I don’t know if you ever completely losethe sense of where you came from, but youdefinitely evolve away from it over time. But thething is, it’s always there.”

Never far from our consciousness they wowedfans with a stellar performance at 2015’s Westfest.

And dedicated followers of these princelypurveyors of paragon punk left nothing to chancewhen members Joey Cape and Dave Raun frontedup in 2018 and again this year as part of punksupergroup Me First And The Gimme Gimmes –

flocking in record numbers to see them strut theirstuff with that band.

Lagwagon are Fat Wreck Chords’ third biggestselling act behind founder Fat Mike’s NOFX andthe aforementioned MFATGG.

Bred from a long lineage of punk bands out ofSouthern California, Lagwagon became one of themost influential, pioneering the now-famous ‘FatWreck sound’ with their speedy drums, guitarvirtuosity and undeniable melodies.
