This workshop will focus on one of Angela Hirst's greatest food loves: preserving. She will take the group through the basics of various sterilisation and preserving methods, before moving on to making a few different preserves inspired by the bounty of an early winter garden.

Details

Angela worked as a casual cook in several Brisbane restaurants while completing her university studies, and then left Australia to take on a professional chef’s training in Europe. After some happy but hard cooking time in London (at the now Michelin-starred Petersham Nurseries Café) and in Paris (at Rose Bakery), Angela is now a cook with several prongs to her fork: she has a PhD in food (on eating and ethics), blogs about basic cooking skills at The Good Soup, works as a restaurant reviewer and runs her own business, Wandering Cooks.

After becoming a mother, Angela made several attempts at starting her own catering and teaching businesses, learning a heap but not earning a cent and sweating her own blood in the process. This was her inspiration for creating Wandering Cooks. Wandering Cooks steps in where many food businesses struggle, providing commercial kitchens the resources and community to help them flourish. If everything goes to plan, Wandering Cooks’ first space will be opening in East Brisbane in July.

Angela is generously donating her time to present this workshop.
