The Elizabeth Café and Larder team are creating a delicious breakfast, plus some great companies have come on board to create a wonderful goodie bag for everyone to take away. There will be a silent auction all in the hope of raising a bunch of cash for this cause that touches so many of us. Tuesday 31 May, 9.30am Tickets $65 via nourishmagazine.co.nz

Looking for a flavoursome pickle that’s a little different but isn’t spicy hot? Cambridge Picklery’s Maharani takes the humble aubergine and combines it with gorgeous Indian flavours, making a spicy but not hot chutney, perfect with a sharp cheddar or slathered on sandwiches.

Follow The Cambridge Picklery on Facebook to find out more. The Mount Everest Challenge is back for its eighth year in a row. Climb the Mount 38 times in 50 days and help raise money for Good Neighbour. Good Neighbour provides practical opportunities for people to support one another so that lives and neighbourhoods are transformed. There are five ways they do this: food rescue, projects, community gardens, kitchen, and whānau care. You can enter the challenge as an individual or in a team and by doing so you will have climbed the equivalent of Mount Everest right here in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
