Chocolate workshop! Sunday 18th May 2014: 9am-1pm

This is the first workshop in a series of sweets and desserts workshops I will be running this year. I'm kicking off with my all time favourite - chocolate!

We will be covering how to make:

(a) chocolate block/slab (b) chocolate slice (c) chocolate hazelnut spread (the real "nutella") (d) chocolate ice-cream (e) hot chocolate pudding (f) raw chocolate mousse (g) hot chocolate (drink) with chilli, orange and coconut

The above just about covers the entire range of my favourite ways to consume chocolate!! Chocolate cake will be covered in my gluten-free cakes and muffins workshop in June. 

We will be cooking with only unprocessed fermented raw cacao powder. We will not be using any refined sweeteners - only natural unprocessed sweeteners or whole fruit. All recipes are grain-free but 3 contain dairy.

Dips, sauces and dressings workshop: Thursday 8 May 2014 7:30pm

I will be running a workshop next Thursday on how to make some of your own basic dips, sauces and dressings. I was inspired to start making my own several years ago when the conventional varieties of most condiments (even organic ones) contain many processed ingredients including refined sugar, preservatives, emulsifiers, flavours, vegetable oils and gums, colours, thickeners, gluten and other additives. I was horrified to read what actually lined my fridge door!

We will be covering how to make:

(a) tzatziki (Greek yogurt dip) (to be served with vegetable sticks) (b) pesto (to be served with cucumber rounds) (c) tomato sauce (to be served with potato wedges) (d) mayonnaise (to be served with coleslaw and / or  hard boiled eggs) (e) miso dressing (to be served with Asian salad)

I will also run through some of my favourite clean/safe store-bought condiments.

Cost is $60 per person and includes:

• handout with recipes
• practical demonstrations
• hands-on experience
• food tasting (you will not leave hungry!)

This workshop is ideal for:

• those who are grain-free or gluten-free or suffer from digestive issues
• those who want to learn how to make their own nutrient-dense dips, sauces and dressings using only unprocessed ingredients
• people who want to transition off processed foods and want a healthy substitute for themselves or their family members
• those who are on a budget and want affordable (as well as healthier) condiments
