New Indian cooking course!
Hi Neighbours!
Term 2 was delicious fun cooking with some fab folks! Photos below of some dishes we made.
Come and join us for Term 3 at Papanui High School's Night Classes - we are now also learning how to make (and eat!) delicious Indian street food. Street food in India is a cuisine realm by itself - fast food but with fresh and mostly unprocessed ingredients, with lots of vegetarian, DF, GF and vegan options. The flavours are mouthwateringly big and bold, yet the dishes are made from humble everyday ingredients, all easily available here.
Think pakoras, puffed rice mixes, kabab wraps, chickpea salad, spicy chutneys and more! Learn about spices and how to use them while making popular favourites, improve your cooking skills and impress your friends and whanau :)

Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
