9am–5pm

A stunning cooking class inspired by the work of Samin Nosrat, who has written a book with this title.

He will show you how adding salt at the right time makes everything taste sweeter and with a full body of flavour. He will show you the way you cut vegetables, grate, puree, or slice them affects their flavour and how heat and time deeply affect the texture of food and their flavour profile.

And how acidity, when combined with a touch of bitterness, salt and sweetness creates simple delicious meals. Join them.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
