Indian Cooking Classes
Hi Neighbours,
Would you like to learn how to cook delicious Indian food in your own kitchen? Indian cuisine is so much more than curry powder and Butter Chicken :)
My cooking classes are a mix of hearty homestyle recipes, curry-house faves, and takes on popular street food from across India's vast and varied cuisine styles. I love sharing my food journey, reflecting my own pan-Indian upbringing, with friends and fellow foodies.
Here in Chch since 2014, I currently am a cook at a boarding school, and mum to four myself :)
Being Indian, food is central to family values of togetherness and caring, and I thoroughly enjoy seeing these values translate into the community too, when people from completely different cultures and backgrounds come together in my classes and share a common joy of creating a new dish, and maybe even make new friends!
What's more, Indian food is super-accomodating when it comes to dietary restrictions or preferences of GF, DF, vegetarian, vegan etc. Ingredients are mostly from scratch, yet very economical, and almost nil in preservatives, yet always BIG on flavour!
My nightclasses for Term 3 at Papanui High School are open for enrolment. Class sizes are limited to keep them informal and relaxed, so sign up soon! Course commences Wed 3 August, weekly for 7 weeks.

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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
