Winning creation after 30 rejects

Murray Swetman took three days to make the best mince and cheese pie in the country _ and threw away close to 30 rejects in the process.
Creating the perfect pie is serious business to this baker _ and he has a whole office of testers to try out his creations.
"I don't eat the pies, but the staff taste them," he said.
The Tauranga production manager for Gourmet Foods won a gold medal for his mince and cheese pie at the NZ Bakels annual pie competition in Auckland last night.
The pie won the commercial division _ pie-makers producing more than 80,000 pies a week _ of which there are only 10 to 12 in the country.
Gourmet Foods was runner-up in the category last year.
"What we're up against is the big guys that sell the most pies, and that's the most credit-worthy as far as we're concerned," Gourmet Food's managing director Roger Rushton said.
Added operations manager Bryce Cole: "It's a very competitive industry."
Three years ago, Mr Rushton combined two well-known brands in two cities _ Ponsonby Pies in Auckland and Pat's Pantry in Tauranga.
Today, Gourmet Foods is one of the most respected pie-makers and bakers in the country, along with its local rival, Maketu Pies, which last night won the bronze award in the commercial division.
After taking over Ponsonby Pies, Gourmet Foods doubled its output, producing more than 4.5 million pies, savouries and cakes annually.
In 1999, Pat's Pantry won the NZ Bakels Supreme Piemaker of the year award and since 1997 the organisation has won four gold awards, seven silvers, five bronzes and has been highly commended twice.
Mr Rushton said most of that success is owed to John Cuff, former production manager for Pat's Pantry and now a consultant.
Ponsonby Pies won the Metro magazine award for best pie for the 10th year.
Pies are judged by weight _ gourmet pies must not weigh over 280g and regular pies 250g _ appearance, and taste, which also examines meat content.
When asked what made mince and cheese pies a Kiwi favourite, Mr Rushton said it was New Zealanders' love of cheese. "Thirty per cent of our total sales are steak and cheese and mince and cheese."
His favourite? Bacon and egg.
