The Caring Cook
 

We don’t just eat to live. Food means all sorts of things from physical survival to emotional welbeing. And it isn’t just what we eat, but how it’s prepared and who does the cooking. This afternoon’s cookery demonstrations of delicious vegetarian dishes for all occasions will show us how to become cooks who care.

Fresh healthy ingredients selected with thoughtfulness
Step-by-step demonstrations projected onto the big screen
Meals planned with mindfulness
Healthy eating meals-for-one
Family spreads to delight the hungry hoards
Wholesome food that satisfies body & soul
Taste the difference – a chance to sample all the demonstrated dishes
(Including The Food Magicians’ Lucky Cookie)
