The Celebration of Lost Culinary Arts to be staged at Kalbar on Saturday, June 29 represents the latest addition to the Scenic Rim’s annual Winter Harvest Festival.
The event pays tribute to the pioneers of the region’s “eat local” movement.
Visitors will be able to learn heirloom and heritage skills such as jam and butter making, preserving, pickling, fermenting, and much more.
The Celebration will run from 10am-4pm, at Kalbar School of Arts & Memorial Hall, 63 Edward St, Kalbar.
Event highlights include:
- Meet legendary local 81-year-old Pam Leckie, who creates 32 different lines of food from home, including jams, pickles, sauces, oils, chutneys and relishes.
- Kalbar local Jules Sparrow, has come out of semi-retirement to show her extensive range of sweet pickled onions, mustard pickles, preserves, chutneys, relishes, sauces, vinegars and oils.
- Pickling doyenne Sally Peach will demonstrate how to make meat paste, which a generation will remember on their school sandwiches.
- Valued community member Val Brown will share an old tomato relish recipe that you will want to keep for your own family cookbook!
