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.
Bookings open now.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
