Discover the art of nutritious and sustainable eating in this hands-on workshop. This experience is designed for anyone who is dreaming of a more self-sufficient lifestyle and wants to improve their cooking skills and routine using more local, seasonal ingredients, or someone simply wanting to feel more inspired and creative in the kitchen. 

After a stroll through the vegetable garden, participants will prepare a few simple dishes together (fermented carrots and a seaweed lemon salt to bring back home), some of which will be shared during lunch (vegetarian gyoza, meat and spinach dumplings (Maultaschen), weedy garden salad and a seasonal fruit cake). The instruction will be designed so that you can reproduce and incorporate these recipes into your daily life.

You’ll get introduced to:
– Fermentation to boost your gut health and immunity.
– Foraging in the garden to make the most of the seasonal and nutritious plants and “weeds”.
– Preservation of seasonal produce to save money over time.
– Ways to reduce food waste and packaging in your kitchen.

This workshop is organised by Silke Middlehauve, who invites you to her home to share her passion. Silke, a passionate cook for many years, would like to share the fact that eating healthily and seasonally is within everyone’s reach and that even a small garden can provide abundance in the kitchen.
