Kitchen Queries
Sandwiched in between our Long Table Lunches on the 1st Sunday of the month and our Seasonal Workshops on the 3rd Sunday, we hold a semi-permanent stand at Stroud Green Farmers Market. This is a community based food-encyclopedia, meaning: come armed with all your food and produce related questions so we can chew over them together!
Our aim is to be a judgement free zone, to allow for curiosity in the kitchen and encourage all sorts of experiments! Wether it be the leftover tub of cream in your fridge going a little bit tangy (yet perfectly edible!) or a strange looking vegetable you have yet to encounter (looking at you kohlrabi) we can help come up with ideas or have a chat about your cooking plans for the week!
Our purpose is :
To expand our curiosity in the kitchen, by teaching each other techniques or skills the way it used to be done, by word of mouth.
To assist with menu planning, ideas and weekly meal prep. we want to help show you that it doesn’t have to be overwhelming to cook from scratch.
To create a Stroud Green Market Recipe Tin. Donate, write, send in or tell us your family favourite recipes so we can compile a community cooking manual :)
At our stand you will find :
a resource library of our favourite cookbooks to flick through, feel free to donate some of your old ones too :)
our weekly seasonal recipes, to take home and try out for yourself!
a passionate homecook to talk all things food related. (come say hello!)
We believe that cooking has become a forgotten, yet necessary, skill. We hope to reconnect people to joy of preparing a meal and recognising the provenance of their ingredients. By creating a space for people to share their own knowledge, gleaned from both experience and tradition, we hope to break down the barriers of our modern day approach to food. Convenience has taken over ancestral knowledge and by breaking away from mass manufacture we regain power over our food system, a system which governs us, and always has.
