Gathering: Native Foods and Healthy Cooking

Gathering presents Native Foods and Healthy Cooking. Discover the flavours, benefits and cultural significance of Australia’s native ingredients in this engaging and interactive cooking experience led by Destiny Dewis. The Native Foods and Healthy Cooking session is a one-hour demonstration that explores practical ways to incorporate native ingredients into everyday meals. Participants will learn about the nutritional value of native foods and how they can be used in breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack recipes.
