The Magic of Spices

🌸🌿 Workshop: The Magic of Spices
With Fátima Pereira — Cooking Around
📅 Sunday, May 24th
📍 Marruge, Serra do Caramulo

🌿 About the experience
Good seasoning is the magic behind good food.

Besides enriching the flavor, it can increase the nutritional value of the dish and improve the absorption of nutrients from food.

Homemade seasoning also allows you to reduce sodium intake and avoid preservatives present in many industrial seasonings.

Traditionally, we have always been very connected to spices from the East. But what if we could be more creative and sustainable, creating our own spices?

In this workshop, we will explore flavored vinegars and oils, herb salts, and small "magic berries" that don't need to come from India—they can grow in your garden.

It will be a moment of connection, sharing, and discovery, where cooking becomes a conscious, intuitive, creative, and also much more sustainable act.

✨ What we'll do
In this workshop we will:

Create unique herb and spice blends
Prepare flavored vinegars and oils
Make characterful herb salts
Explore berries, leaves, and flowers that can grow in your garden
✔️ Includes
Snack tasting
Recipe booklet
Sample of green salt prepared in the workshop
