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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
