Anna’s Workshops! The Veggie Tree

Anna from The Veggie Tree has an array of whole food, vegan, and natural product DIY workshops coming up and they all sound amazing!

I absolutely love fermented foods and Anna’s Fermenting and Preserving workshop provides hands-on learning of how to make tasty food that adds so much flavour to any meal and is great for gut health. Then there’s the Wild Italian Forage and Feast and the Eastern European Class and Meal – yum! Learn to make winter warming recipes that are the ultimate comfort food, vibrant and rich with earthy flavours.

Another class that I’m very interested in is the ever popular Sourdough and Easy Cheese Workshop, my bread making skills could certainly be improved upon.

Anna is also running a homemade household workshop to honour plastic free July. Together you will make bees wax wraps, homemade deodorant, your choice of a moisturising body balm or a healing balm, a self-care rollerball blend or Ouchy Oil, and the best all purpose household cleaner – all to take home with you!

Coming up soon is Anna’s Eat a Rainbow kids workshop. These holidays Anna will be making quick easy potato pancakes which kids will love, they will come back time and time again – breakfast, lunch or dinner and everything in between. This recipe is tried and true with Anna’s kids and their friends.
