Overview
The gang at Work-Shop are heading off on safari, and they're inviting all of you to come along. The latest project run by the DIY specialists will see a group of hungry guests off on a day-long foodie adventure, sampling tasty treats and beverages in picturesque surrounds. First up? A trawl along the Hawkesbury River with lunch cooked by former Longrain chef Martin Boetz.
Participants in the Hawkesbury River Food Safari will gather outside Work-Shop's Redfern location at 7am sharp on Sunday, November 22. From there you'll be bussed an hour out of the city to Boetz's Cook's Co-Op, where you'll pick vegetables (so dress appropriately) and learn about the history of farming in the region. You'll also spend some time on the water with local fisherman Gary Howard, who'll discuss the importance of sustainable fishing practices and serve up freshly cooked Hawkesbury River prawns.
Once you've worked up a proper appetite you'll sit down for a lunch, cooked by Boetz using the freshest local ingredients. He'll also take you through various cooking techniques, so you can attempt to replicate his methods back home. After that it's back on the bus and back to Sydney by 4pm — giving you plenty of time to upload your photos to Instagram and brag to all your friends.
Tickets to Work-Shop's Hawkesbury River Food Safari cost $190 plus a $5.74 booking fee. There are only 30 spaces available, so best get in quick.
