Learn to make your own stock powder!

Angela Hume from SPiCE - Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment

Who doesn't love a hearty broth?
In this hands-on workshop, we will show you how to make your own vegetable stock powder - one with only as much salt as you want, in parts using vegetables and herbs that might otherwise go to waste.
You'll learn about the ingredients and we go through the process step by step. We will begin the session with information on food dehydrators and vegetables that can be used, before we get hands-on to prepare and dehydrate some together.

Then we will make the powder (using vegetables I dehydrated beforehand). Before you leave with a small sample you'll have a chance to taste the glorious stock.
We will also talk about the many other options how to use this to flavour up any (bland) foods.

Wednesday April 10th, 5.30pm to 7.30pm, Sandringham Community Centre, 18 -20 Kitchener Road, Sandringham.

Participation costs: $25-35 self-assessed sliding
Tickets available at
events.humanitix.com......
Sponsored and supported by SPiCE
Another inspiring event happening at Albert-Eden & Puketāpapa Eco Festival, running all through April.
