Event: Italian Summer Preserving  
Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation
Organisation: Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation  
Description: In the Italian food calendar it's passata time, and what better way to learn to make it than in the warm home-style kitchen at the Collingwood College Learning Centre. Keryn Ursi from La Micia Cooking joins us for a fun and hands-on morning exploring and celebrating key summer produce and some of the best ways to preserve it.

Working in the Learning Centre kitchen in Collingwood, Keryn will explore the preserving methods of those staple summer fruits and vegetables so important in Italian cuisine - tomatoes, eggplant, capsicums and zucchini. Keryn will lead the group through making passata, capsicum conserva, melanzane sott'olio (pickled eggplant), zucchine sott'olio (pickled zucchini), peperoni sott'olio (pickled capsicums) and corn relish. The produce will become the focus of a beautiful home-style lunch accompanied by breads and seasonal salads, along with a glass of wine.

Please wear covered shoes suitable for working in the kitchen.
