The workshop will explore “Indian” food contextualised within the British foodscape, focusing on seasonal and low-waste principles. You will learn concepts and techniques to build confidence in departing from recipes and cooking Indian-inspired food at home.
The workshop will also touch on Ayurvedic principles to emphasise the importance of food as medicine, rooted in our local landscape. Our food language is guided by Permaculture, which will be woven into the programme.
The workshop/meal will be vegetarian/vegan and designed around how we eat in India. It will be a ‘thali’ style meal which will consist of a grain, a bread, a pulse, a dry vegetable, a starter/side dish and a side pickle (achaar) along with a pre-made dessert.
What to expect:
- Herbal tea
- Hands-on cooking session
- Shared lunch together
- A pickle to take away
What to bring:
- A jar
- Box for takeaway if there is any left over
- A notebook and a pen for notes
- Aprons will be provided, but feel free to bring your own
We are not an allergen-free kitchen. Please get in touch if you have any allergies to see if the workshop is suitable for you.
