Farm-to-Table Cooking Workshop

Introduction

Through this series of workshops, we hope to draw people's attention to the traditional healthy diet in China, think about the problems of eating and drinking in the fast-paced urban life, and improve your thinking and perception of food. Love the earth, love life, love health! And we only do vegan food!

Theme: The Fermentative Food in winter

In Chinese traditional philosophy, winter is the season of “preserve and wait”, we use fermentation to preserve veggies and let the time do the magic; thus, some magical food will be brought to the workshop as ingredients.
