Good vegetarian wontons are hard to come by, so often it's easier and much tastier to make your own! Once you know how, wontons are easy to whip up and perfect for putting together a spontaneous meal for friends using fresh garden produce.
Lauren Burns, Olympic gold medalist and naturopath, is passionate about vegetarian cooking and sharing techniques to make life-giving, delicious food. Lauren will pass on her passion as well as tips for creating a tasty menu based on a range of wonton dishes and a light and delicate Japanese salad.
Details
Lauren has always been passionate about food. She became a vegetarian at the age of three and is proud that, despite many nutritionists telling her it simply wasn’t possible, she was able to continue being a vegetarian throughout her elite sporting career.
In this workshop you will learn to make delicious vegetarian sauced wontons with a punchy soy ginger sauce, meaty (pardon the pun) dumplings made from a mushroom filling served with a soy vinaigrette and third surprise wonton using fresh garden produce.
The wontons will be accompanied with a light and delicate Japanese salad and steamed rice when we sit down to enjoy the meal at the end of the workshop.
Additional Details
Please wear covered shoes suitable for working in the kitchen.
Enter the College via the main reception area, which is located near the end of Cromwell Street, and follow the signs to the kitchen.
Public transport is often a good way to get to Collingwood College, with Collingwood train station only minutes away. However, on Saturdays there is usually parking available in the immediate vicinity of the College. Other parking options are generally the north and south sides of Hoddle Street, in Gipps Street and in the parking zone at the end of Islington Street.
Please note, the Foundation endeavours to proceed with each Public Workshop as planned, however in the instance of very low numbers of registrants or other unfortunate events we reserve the right to cancel a workshop up to 48 hours before scheduled. In all cases we will do our utmost to inform registrants a week in advance of any cancellation, and a 100% refund will be made.
