How do you create a dish from what the season has to offer? Guest Chef Emily Dobbs invites you to cook, taste and discover new combinations together. A workshop all about seasonal ingredients, flavour and Emily’s distinctive style of cooking.
Inspired by her time in Sri Lanka, Emily combines different flavours and techniques with European produce, showing how just a few good ingredients can come together to create dishes with a distinctive character. The menu features Pol Sambal, Pol Roti and Egg Hoppers.
Rather than following a recipe step by step, the workshop is about getting to know ingredients, exploring how flavours work together and developing a more intuitive approach to cooking. At the end, the dishes created during the workshop will be tasted and shared together.
