On these day-retreats, which are limited to 6 guests, we collaborate on creating a wide range of items (with my recipes for guidance), resulting in a delicious lunch for us to share. The theme for this month is 'home-made gifts from the kitchen'. We will make a wide selection of recipes that would make wonderful Christmas gifts (or pep up your own pantry!) From home-made preserves, condiments, teas, spice-blends and even body care, we have lots of ideas to share on this one-day plant-based cooking retreat.
Leaving with a collection of recipes and know-how, you will have ample time pre-xmas to make your creations - who doesn't love receiving a gift full unique flair and love?!
These hands-on days run at an unhurried pace to allow for questions, relaxation, and appreciation of the flavours, aromas, textures and vibrant colours of the local & seasonal produce we will be using. Slowing down for a day allows for more playfulness and joy to arise in our kitchens.
Our monthly plant-based cooking retreats provide a way to connect (for some of us re-connect) with the pleasure and intimacy that food & cooking gives rise to, without any time-pressures that typically diminish that in our day-to-day lives. When we are present to appreciate our home-made food, the nutritional and psychological benefits are enhanced.
These days are for everyone, regardless of your usual eating style. Whether you are an omnivore, a committed vegan (or like most of us somewhere in-between) these days will inspire, nourish and support you. All welcome!
