Real Food/Old Ways Workshops

Overview

Over the coming months, Real Food Projects have added a bit of history to their menu of workshops. Working alongside Sydney Living Museums, a series of classes named Real Food/Old Ways will be held at Vaucluse House. Along with a two-hour workshop in the stables, the $120 classes include a private tour and history lesson, followed by a range of delicious lunches.

The first class, Foraging and Colonial Cocktails, runs on Sunday, February 16, where you'll spend the afternoon with foraging expert Diego Bonetto collecting plants to make into cocktails. Later, join Christopher Thomas and Byron Woolfrey of Trolley'd to learn the history, secrets, and how-tos of cocktails. 'Foraging and Colonial Cocktails' runs from 2pm-5pm, and you'll even get to pocket a colonial-style cocktail mixer.

A pickling class with Matt Rothman of Hands Lane (previously from Single Origin) runs on Sunday, March 9. From 10.30am-1.30pm you'll learn the basics, history and procedure of pickling. Take home the recipes, a pickle-making kit and the jar of pickles you make on the day.
