Learn to make your own stock powder!

Angela Hume from SPiCE - Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment

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
Tickets available at

Sponsored and supported by SPiCE
Another inspiring event happening at Albert-Eden & Puketāpapa Eco Festival, running all through April.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.

But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.

So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?

If you’re keen to dive into the details, Deborah Morris breaks down all the latest insights.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
