I have 3 upcoming workshops all about our wonderful seasonal produce; which are delivered in partnership with City of Darwin’s Healthy Darwin program.
These workshops hope to connect the Darwin community to our local produce and climate here in the Top End, inspiring attendees to buy from local farmers, grow their own and make local produce into healthy every day dishes.
The workshops are hands on and look at the tropical plants that feature in the recipes, how to grow them and what some look like in a garden setting. Demonstrations of how to prepare the ingredients are given and then in groups the recipes are made and the delicious dishes are shared together-
