Learn to make your own stock powder!
Who doesn't love a hearty broth?
In this hands-on workshop, we will show you how to make your own vegetable stock powder - one with only as much salt as you want, in parts using vegetables and herbs that might otherwise go to waste.
You'll learn about the ingredients and we go through the process step by step. We will begin the session with information on food dehydrators and vegetables that can be used, before we get hands-on to prepare and dehydrate some together.
Then we will make the powder (using vegetables I dehydrated beforehand). Before you leave with a small sample you'll have a chance to taste the glorious stock.
We will also talk about the many other options how to use this to flavour up any (bland) foods.
Wednesday April 10th, 5.30pm to 7.30pm, Sandringham Community Centre, 18 -20 Kitchener Road, Sandringham.
Participation costs: $25-35 self-assessed sliding

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
