'How to' Cook, Forage & Preserve Workshops Inspired by Books Starting this Easter

New for 2024, these workshops created with chef Robin Popham of 'Create Terroir' are designed to hone this season's bbq skills; bringing participants around the fire to cook with flame, coals, embers & smoke. Ingredients include those grown in the Food Library's Kitchen Garden on Cecil Road, plus more unusual, sustainable & affordable meats such as pheasant and rabbit.

Michael says "our library holds hundreds of books on environmentally friendly growing, preserving, fermenting cooking, smoking and so much more. Our 'how to' workshops are all inspired by the books and Robin's first workshop brings our BBQ and fire cookery books to life, creating the opportunity to get outside and build the fire, learn foody skills together, craft & eat some really sensational flavours".

Join Robin, Michael & Laura this Easter to experience new BBQ techniques, meet other cooks around the fire and make use of a fantastic local resource capturing centuries of food memories, expertise and creativity.

Robin says "Cooking over fire is a skill that has been deeply rooted in human DNA for millennia, a skill that we simply need to become reacquainted with, at the same time as creating new adventures in food. Think beyond the burger and embrace cooking over fire with us this Easter."

"How to" Cook with Fire is on Saturday March 30th 10am-4pm
