Caravan cookery classes are coming to Te Puke.
To be launched at this weekend's community market, the classes will be guided by Te Puke Community Garden chairwoman Julie Gray, and run as an extension of the garden's contribution to the community.
Julie says the initiative is the culmination of a dream she has had since she first became involved in the community garden five years ago.
"It's just a passion I've got to get out of my system," she says, "because I enjoy cooking, I love it.".
Julie says the cooking won't be "over the top" and she will be passing on her knowledge about how to cook simple, easy food.
