school of food Classes | Articles and Recipes
Nourish School of Food is an organic cooking school in Christchurch, New Zealand. We are here to help you find the foods that will make you feel on top of the world. We are here to show you how to prepare food that is a gourmet delight as well as healthy, for you and the planet.
The usual workshop format is one of practical, interactive demonstration by Melanie Jane, an experienced chef and educator. Class sizes are limited to 5-10 so that the journey can include plenty of stops for tastings and hands on fun. If you prefer, Melanie can also teach you (and your friends) in your own kitchen.
The four hour Nourish workshops conclude with a delicious gourmet meal. Two hour morning or evening classes include tastings and a light meal. Participants are given printed recipes, information about ingredients and nutritional principles, shopping and supplier lists, and some samples of the foods to take home.
