  • Description

I’m joining forces with Kerstin Rodgers for a summer garden silver workshop and seasonal lunch on Saturday 30th June.

2 spaces available

Kerstin’s online alias is MsMarmiteLover, she launched the supperclub/underground restaurant movement in the UK in 2009 and has run sell-out secret supper clubs ever since. She is an award-winning food writer, author of four books and is passionate about incorporating edible botanicals into her recipes.

A few days after midsummer you will be able to come to Kerstin’s beautiful garden in North London and cast summer flowers, leaves and nature finds in fine silver with me in the morning (this process will be featured on BBC Countryfile Winter Special 4th February).

You will make intricate pendants or earrings using finds from Kerstin’s flowerbeds or from your own nature collection/garden and take home truly beautiful  silver pieces.

After the workshop Kerstin will cook you a truly delicious summer lunch inspired by and using the herbs and plants growing in her garden and near my Fenland cottage.

There will be a botanical cocktail (virgin options will be available)  for each person, made using summer herbs, tree flowers and plants foraged from the Fenland countryside, such as lemon verbena, lime tree flowers, meadowsweet and elderflowers. If you would like a second cocktail (or a third!) they will be £5 each.

Kerstin and I will made hand-decorated goody bags filled with creative and culinary botanical-inspired treats to inspire you for the remainder of the summer.

The menu is yet to be finalised but may include:

Fried sage leaves

Mozzarella, broad bean and lovage salad
