Eating with the Seasons

Eating seasonally means taking advantage of the amazing local fruit and vegetables that are naturally ready to harvest and at their best. In Fife we have an array of produce on our doorstep which we can use. This cuts down on food miles and benefits our planet as well as the local food economy. We’ll be cooking with local and tasty beetroot, and we’ll be using the first of the season’s cauliflower in two dishes.

Cauliflower – Cauliflowers thrive in Scotland due to our (usually) temperate summers. It can be enjoyed with many different flavours and pairs well with Indian spices. Although cauliflowers come in many colours from yellow to purple, we’ll be using the traditional creamy white to make a roasted cauliflower curry.

Beetroot Chutney – Beetroot has a deep earthy flavour that is suggestive of Autumn and a lovely vibrant colour. We’ll use it to make a chutney which is a great way of preserving the foods we harvest now to keep for eating later.

This is a hands-on cooking class. All dishes made can be taken away and enjoyed at home.

The workshop will be delivered by Samantha Wells of Random Dining. Sam works with Greener Kirkcaldy, has vast cooking experience, and she is passionate about creating food and sharing her skills.

Some cooking skills are required to enjoy this workshop i.e. basic knife skills. Please bring some containers to take home your food. If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, please let us know when you are booking.
