Travel Greece – Survival Guide

November 5, 2019 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Visiting Greece has always been on my bucket list and although I’d be a tourist myself, there were a few things I wish I knew before I touched down. The 6 tips below are my own personal observations and recommendations and were the first few things I would always share with people when they asked about culture and customs. Because of that, I don’t claim to be a travel expert or know Greek etiquette inside and out, however I hope others traveling to Greece may find any of these tips useful.

SKYCITY Dessert Tour

February 10, 2018 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

I’ve always had a sweet tooth, so the opportunity to experience 11 different desserts over 4 restaurants in two days, was not something to turn down. Being placed amongst the bustling food precinct that is SKYCITY Auckland, you find yourself quite overwhelmed by the variety, sounds and smells. While staying the night in SKYCITY Grand Hotel, I had stunning views of the city, Auckland Harbour Bridge and of course the iconic Sky Tower. I called this my base as I prepared myself to get a taste of some of the best desserts SKYCITY has to offer.

The Sugar Club saw us making our way up to level 53 of the Sky Tower, a restaurant founded by Peter Gordon overlooking the city of Auckland. With its fusion styled cuisine and 1930s Italian Art Deco decor of brass and stone, I could feel I was about to experience something special. …

This just in, I made all of these ones myself. Also, If you saw on the telly, @griffinsbiscuits featured on an episode of TVNZ 2’s Snack Masters, where the iconic ToffeePops took centre stage for the food gurus to recreate this kiwi classic. 

Griffins challenged me to try making them from the comfort of my own home too, consider it ‘Snack Masters at Home - Dane Edition’. Obviously I accepted the challenge to recreate their ToffeePops here at home and I’m pretty impressed with how they turned out.

Now if you have a craving for ToffeePops, it’s also good to know their perfectly proportioned bikkies are still kiwi made and smothered in 5 roll refined and Rainforest alliance certified chocolate. Now that’s worth all that toffee goodness!

How much do you love ToffeePops?

Answer: “Um, I love a good cactus, don’t you? Also, perhaps they’re a lot like my own personality, prickly, dry and awkward. Ok, have fun with that!”
