Making and sharing food is a passion that we believe will give us an opportunity to build community and culture that will work towards sustainability and optimism
We are looking for a way to get nourishment and knowledge from the wild so we can broaden our views on food and strengthen our relationship with ecosystems that are around us
Workshop program:
- The workshop has been tailored to the timetables of the trains that stop in Generalski Stol.
- Time table of suitable trains is following:
- Zagreb Glavni kolodvor 09.31.- Generalski Stol 11.08
- Generalski Stol 17.05 – Zagreb Glavni kolodvor 18.45.
11.30- 12.00- Intro to the workshop
– The best place to start is at the beginning. So safety first! Then In order to prepare ourselves we will go to a few brief activities to get to know each other, to know what to expect on the trail, get some training on the plants and how to get to know them and some pick up lines if you really like them. You will get the chance to learn how to use the tools you can use on the walk to achieve the goals of the activity
12.00-13.00- Walk and Harvesting
-On the walk we are going to go through the beautiful surroundings and wild part of Generalski Stol. You will engage yourself in observation of the ecosystem and be on a lookout for a few really desirable and yummy plants. Using our best senses we will sustainably harvest nutrients and bring them with us to the garden kitchen
13.00-14.30- Making the recipe and food preparation
– In the garden kitchen we will put together all of our bounty from the wild and decide how to combine it and prepare it into a delicious meal. We will by this process create a new recipe and it will be our little creative endeavor. By the end of the process we will have together made a meal that we can share among us and in the future if you love the finished product you can share it with your loved ones
14.30-15.30- Lunch
– to us sitting down and eating good food is a great quality time where we can share our experiences and opinions, discuss and just have fun consuming the product of our little adventure. This being a pilot workshop for Kupala’s Garden we will ask you to answer a little questioner at the end of our lunching.
15.30-16.30-Rest
-is best after good food, there is some time between the train departure and lunch so we would like to offer some down time activities where you can let your guard down and just souk up the goodness of existing
