Learn about nutrition, eg meal planning, stretching your budget, cookery terms, portion control, deciphering food labels, tips to increase motivation and more.
We do the theory in the first hour, followed by a demonstration of how to make a meal, then you make that meal and when it's ready we sit down together and eat, clean up and go home.
You may possibly meet people you would like to stay in touch with, it's more fun eating with others than by yourself.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are 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.
