A Celebration of Lost Culinary Arts
A signature event of the Scenic Rim Winter Harvest Festival, this celebration honours the rich traditions of food preservations.Long before refrigeration and supermarkets, generations of women used creativity and resourcefulness to feed their families, growing and preserving produce from their gardens or local farms. This event honours these pioneers, showcasing essential skills like bottling tomatoes for the year and jam-making for the pantry.Attendees can explore these traditional methods through talks, demonstrations, and market stalls, celebrating the timeless art of food preservation and the cherished recipes passed down through generations.This event is deliciously presented as part of the 2026 Scenic Rim Eat Local Month.
