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

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
