Tonielle Christensen and Claire Richards
Claire Richards (Author of “Tropical Cuisine”) and Tonielle Christens (Author of “The Incredible Edibles”) presented a wonderful workshop to a full house of enthusiastic particpants.
The Students learnt how to cook Cassava, Spanakopita, rice salad, and many tropical greens and herbs.
The day started off with the preparing of the greens and in an instant the room was full of wonderful scents of the fresh herbs and leaves.
Chopping the Herbs
Everyone eagerly helped with the food preparations and our two hosts were able to impart their knowledge on the group as a whole as well as plenty of one-on-one time with the participants.
Claire Richards teaching the class about Tropical Foods
We all got to try some new flavours of unfamiliar foods and learnt just a little bit more of how to utilise those plants that are growing just out our back doors.
Thank you Claire and Tonielle for a very educational morning!
