Men2Cook class starting second course
The Men2Cook class in Riccarton has been so successful, a second course is about to start on Thursday.
The course, instructed by chef Paul Meek, has run at Riccarton Baptist Church for the past six weeks, and participants have been highly enthusiastic at what they've learned and the skills they've gained.
The aim of the course is to help men learn to cook tasty, hearty and healthy meals on a budget. A bonus each week is sharing together what they've created.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
