50 participants from both food projects and the public sector came together for a day of networking, learning and fun!

Under the stewardship of Robin van Creveld from Community Chef, delegates in each workshop prepared and cooked
a variety of dishes which the group shared at lunchtime, which gave the day a fantastic 'family' atmosphere, as one delegate put it!

You can download recipes for the day's menu here:

Roasted Butternut Squash and Rosemary Soup
Trout  and Tomato Tart
Sesame Super Slaw
Winter Tortilla
Salsa Verde
Apple and Elderflower Crumble
