From Lauraine Jacobs in the New Zealand Listener.

Celia Hay started her New Zealand School of Food & Wine in Christchurch more than 16 years ago to train local and international students in culinary skills and wine appreciation, and provide a course that gave them commercially recognised qualifications. The school, housed in a building in central Christchruch, awaits decisions about how the city rebuilds and restructures itself after the earthquakes. In the meantime, Hay has moved the business to Auckland, where she recently organised a dinner to raise funds to give a number of Christchurch children a break.
