Indigenous Cooking – Axe Creek Landcare

Join indigenous healer and teacher Peta Hudson in an afternoon of scone-baking with Axe Creek Landcare Group. Cook along with Peta as she shares conversations and knowledge for growing and cooking indigenous plants.

This session will be an intimate zoom workshop where participants will be encouraged to set up an iPad and cook-along as Peta demonstrates her cooking method and discusses the role plants play in restoring Country to its former glory.

Prior to the workshop, participants will receive specialty indigenous ingredients for use in this easy scone recipe. Participants will be required to supply their own cupboard staples and cooking equipment.

This event is an opportunity for participants to grow their knowledge around local indigenous plants and develop a deeper understanding of culture.

The 2022 Love Your Land event series is supported by the Victorian Government.
