FREE Cooking Classes for Seniors
A block of 4 weekly classes starting on Monday July 26th to Aug 16th, 10am - 1pm. Held in Richmond this time around. If you're interested and would prefer a Nelson venue please apply anyway.
Each class is 3 hours long and covers nutrition, meal planning, understanding food labels, stretching the budget, portion control and more. Class size is limited to 12 and we are already half-way there. During the class there is a demo from tutor, then 'students' prepare a couple of recipes from the 50-page book that you can take away. We then sit down and enjoy lunch together.
It gets you out of the house, meet new people, learn something useful and bolster your confidence and your motivation.
Your tutor is a trained chef, high school technology teacher and is passionate about helping people to make better decisions around food.
Programme outline is attached.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
