Forage for weeds, herbs and seasonable edibles with naturopath Paloma. Learn how to identify and prepare some health-ful and unexpected additions to the menu.

In this workshop you’ll go foraging in EcoMatters organic garden and then get together for a shared feast. Have fun learning some new skills making delicious, Aotearoa/South American-inspired dishes. Paloma is assisted by Mexican chef, Ana.

Meals are primarily plant-based and we will harvest veges, herbs and edible ‘weeds’ from the EcoMatters organic gardens**.

ON THE MENU

This session we will be:

• making a blackberry or feijoa dessert with banana dairy-free icecream
• doing good things with peppery kawakawa fruit
• making wild weed pesto
• plus GF cauli fritters with Mexican salsa.

This workshop… expanded my ideas, nutrition and concept of what constitutes food - amazing!

Going up to the garden and learning about the medicinal properties of the parts of several plants, then preparing the food together and eating it - very special.
