Things to do in Canterbury Region, South Island: The Best Cooking Classes
Christchurch, the Garden City, and the Canterbury region are the perfect destination for daredevils. From northern Kaikoura to Waimate in the south, Canterbury is an adventure sports paradise. Hangliding, helibiking, bungee jumping, snowboarding, jetboating, rafting and skydiving get the adrenaline going. Golfing, flightseeing, swimming with dolphins and soaking in thermal pools are more laid-back temptations. Christchurch, a city of parks and gardens, is the countrys third largest urban area.

A group of friends and I went to a Delights of Malaysia class on Tuesday night. What a great time we had. They did some demonstrations to start with then we went to cook stations and processed to cook some of the dishes which was awesome and lots of fun. We enjoyed our culinary delights at the end of the evening around a large table which was very enjoyable and satisfying, knowing we had prepared some of the dishes ourselves. Kirsten and the team at Riverside kitchen are amazing, friendly and so informative, they mingled with us all through the night and helped us during our cooking endeavors. Can't wait to go to another class. Such a fun night to have with friends
