What happens when we look at familiar vegetables and everyday ingredients with fresh eyes? What unexpected things can we create when we step away from recipes and let curiosity lead the way?

Join us for a fun, creative afternoon with *Astha Khandelwal*, exploring the possibilities of fresh, uncooked, plant-based food.

We'll chop, grate, blend, mix and experiment with different ingredients, flavours, textures and combinations. Rather than following recipes, we'll discover, create and play together, turning simple, familiar ingredients into something unexpected.

This is a bring-your-ingredients potluck! Everyone brings a few ingredients, we pool them together, create different dishes and sit down to share and enjoy what we've made.

*Facilitated by Astha Khandelwal*

Astha is a permaculturist, plant enthusiast and curious food explorer. Her interests lie at the intersection of food, nature and creativity. She enjoys experimenting with fresh, plant-based ingredients and exploring how food can become a more playful, intuitive and shared experience.

Our gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that play an important role in digestion, immunity, metabolism, and overall well-being. An imbalance in the gut microbiome may contribute to various chronic health conditions.

Join us for an insightful session exploring the fascinating connection between our gut microbiome and health, and understanding how imbalances in these microorganisms may be associated with diabetes, overweight and obesity, fatty liver disease, autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, certain cancers, and poor immunity.
