Sustainable Cooking Class – Summer Edition

[Fully booked]

Friends of the Earth Malta together with Healthylicious will be hosting a Sustainable Cooking Workshop on Saturday, 8th Aug from 14:00-17:00.

During the cooking workshop, you will be trying delicious Vegetarian and Vegan recipes that are both good for our health and also the planet. Our chef carefully prepares delicious recipes to feature predominantly local ingredients and those coming from close by. We will be cooing with seasonal, local and homegrown ingredients. This is a vegetarian workshop but Stefania will be offering vegan alternatives.

This workshop is open for people between the age of 16 to 30 who are passionate about good food. You also do not have to be a vegetarian to participate, come and try out exciting recipes that you can try out as part of #MeatlessMonday!

On the day we will be cooking:

1. Vegetarian Mini Burgers with pickled onions & aioli
2. Vietnamese Rice Rolls served with peanut dipping sauce
3. Watermelon, Tomato & Basil Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

We will be meeting at 14:00 at St. Elias College in Santa Venera. Due to the current COVID situation, we will be hosting a maximum of 8 participants to ensure enough distance between people. When cooking on the workbenches, participants will be at a safe distance away from others. We will have a maximum of 3 participants per large working bench so there will be enough space for social distancing rules to apply. Please be mindful and respectful to others.

All ingredients and tools will be prepared for you. Complimentary drinks including infused waters (using fresh, local, seasonal fruit and home-grown herbs), teas and coffees (organic & fair trade) will be offered to participants throughout the activity. Participants will need to bring an apron if they have one and a pen. Please bring a face mask or a visor with you, to be worn when in close proximity.
