Saturday 11th          Cookery workshop “Chutneys and Preserves”

Are you interested in the history of chutneys and unusual recipes for seasonal produce?

The name chutney comes from the word “chatni” in Hindustani. Traditionally it was the way to preserve all the fruit and some vegetables that abound in early autumn to accompany and enhance the flavour of meat dishes, fish, cheeses and patés during winter. With figs, peaches, green and red tomatoes we will prepare some delicious and original preserves with a spicy sweet and sour touch
