RETURN OF THE LARDER
Traditionally food preservation was a way of life and the larder the backbone of the kitchen. Today less people consider food preservation a necessity but there are many benefits.
Preserving food is a fantastic way to stretch your budget, help the environment and live a healthier life all at the same time.
A stimulating day gathered around Daphne's kitchen table looking at three key ways of preserving - drying, fermenting and
elixirs and how these foods can help support health and well-being.
Each workshop is guided by the season you'll discover preserves like fermented sorrel, wild garlic capers, rhubarb and ginger shrub, nettle kimchi and green walnut liqueur in the spring and potted mushrooms, apple cider vinegar, horseradish oxymel, beetroot gin, sauerkraut & spiced root vegetables in the autumn.
Whatever the season there are plenty of ideas what to do
with seasonal gluts and at the end of the day you will have some delicious preserves to take home!
'I feel so inspired to create & make - thank you'
'Interesting, informative and hugely inspirational. Your approach and knowledge just great!’

FEEDING THE GUT MICROBIOME
The foods we eat affect the diversity, quality, and quantity of healthy microorganisms that live in our gut.
Gut microbes shape how you think, how you feel, and how your body responds to illness. Eating a diverse diet of plant-based nutrient rich foods is fundamental in supporting our amazing inner eco-system.
Join Daphne for a day in the kitchen and whilst preparing food together learn the art of supporting a healthy microbiome - this includes organic food, prebiotics and probiotics, balanced omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, polyphenols and glutamine rich foods.

ORGANISATION CONSULTANCY
Greencuisine Trust offers organisations and teams our flagship workshop - Climate Kitchens
There has never been a more important time to rethink the way we eat and the way, through food, we shape planet Earth. We are on the threshold of pushing Earth's systems over the edge but positive change can and is happening. Creating climate conscious kitchens is one of the solutions.
This packed day looks at the global food system, ecological agriculture, biodiversity, food waste, low energy food preparation and foods for wellbeing. The food people choose to eat is at the heart of creating happy, energetic people with a strong sense of purpose and a deep sense of well being at work and in all of life.
Climate Kitchens is a combination of conversations, kitchen preparation and sharing food. The workshop takes place either
in your workplace or at Greencuisine Trust Byres in Lewes.
