Agenda

In 2026, we continue with some appreciated classes about seasonal cooking and our wellknown winter retreats, which combine cooking, self-care and natural remedies in a relaxing and joyful atmosphere. 

There is also space for new ideas: we will organise

• a series of three workshops to discover the joys of plant-based cooking. Find out how plant-based cooking opens the door to a world of new flavors, textures, and creativity! During these three hands-on workshops, you will learn how to cook tofu, tempeh, seitan, legumes, and seaweed, and how to create fresh summer dishes without eggs or dairy products.Each class includes a hands-on component, a tasting, and recipes to take home with you. All sessions complement each other, but you can attend them individually. Learn, taste, and enjoy!
• the first fermenation workshop in spring 2026! This is a great beginner friendly project for anyone who wants to get started with fermentation but is still a little bit intimidated! 

I am looking forward to welcoming you in Waterloo and Wezembeek-Oppem!

All subscriptions via mail.
