A restaurant serving every dish made with garlic! There was roasted garlic, smoked garlic, pickled garlic. Garlic steak, garlic chicken, garlic chips, garlic bread and many more dishes. </div> <div> After having experienced a night at ÒThe Stinking RoseÓ, Jan knew she wanted to host a garlic festival some day. Well that day has arrived! </div> <bR> <div> What better way to celebrate the harvest season of garlic and it's food-enhancing benefits than with a fundraising festival at our Sunday farmer's market through music, delicious food, live cook-off, camaraderie and fun. </div> <div> We aim to enhance the community of the Peninsula through raising awareness and funds for our coastguard volunteers - our unsung heroes! </div> <bR> <div> Coastguard volunteers' service is a group 45 dedicated modest professionals. Helping out others is what they do! Aside from the actual water rescues on the rescue vessel, they also spend many hours training; maintaining the vessel, equipment and fundraising. <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#DDDDDD" FACE="Arial" >They need funds to operate and are currently refurbishing a 4 wheel drive vehicle to tow the main vessel. and are always training so they are ready at a moments notice to go to a rescue. They go out in all weathers and serve the coastline as far away as Oamaru.</FONT></div> <div> This is a great opportunity for the Otago community to get behind them and support their efforts. We never know when we will need them. Dunedin in fact Otago is surrounded by the sea and there are many yatchies and recreational fisherman rowers etc  who can have an accident at anytime. They teach water safety in schools </div> <bR> <div> Our festival is a way for the community to show their appreciation as well as having a good fun family day out. </div> <bR> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="details"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>DETAILS</U></B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a7014000cc3300.png" HEIGHT="21" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Eftpost available on site</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a7014000cc3300.png" HEIGHT="21" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Sunday 8th March 2009</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a7014000cc3300.png" HEIGHT="21" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">10am - 4pm</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a7014000cc3300.png" HEIGHT="21" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Reserve, beside Happy Hens, Portobello Village, Otago Peninsula</div> <bR> <div> There is no entrance fee, however a gold coin donation will be appreciated, as the money received from the will be donated to the Coastguard Volunteer Service.

It was a winning combination and continues to be so. In 2008 they open a wine bar adjacent to the restaurant called Liquid Molten serving dishes designed to be shared and enjoyed with fine wines and cocktails.

Gary has worked with some pretty amazing chefs and been around and round again. He spent some time cooking over seas, but found that he missed being able to pick mushrooms from a paddock; the real taste of a tomato and the true taste of fruit from central Otago along with the wines; venison; the oysters from Stuart Island and white bait from our rivers. After working for big companies over seas, Gary and his partner Brenda, (a very accomplished hospitality person) decided that they wanted to Òdo their own thingÓ in Dunedin. So they returned to Dunedin to open their own restaurant - CafŽ Rue. Their two children were also a great influence in returning to New Zealand as they wanted to bring their our children up in a great place that has every thing and more. CafŽ Rue is where they are and good food and service is what they do!</div> <bR> <div> Gary will be doing a cooking demonstration involving some of his favourites garlic dishes.  We thank you for his time in and being part of our garlic-lover's festival</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Michael Rozenberg, French Connection, Dunedin</U></B></div> <bR> <div> Michael is originally from Slovakia, and has been a chef for 25 years.  He moved to NZ and set-up his own cafe in Greytown. Now residing in Dunedin with his wife and two children, he has been achef with French Connection for the past two years.
