About

Join an immersive, hands-on experience in sustainable cooking at the zero-waste kitchen, nestled in the heart of the iconic Queen Victoria Market at the Purpose Precinct - powered by social enterprise STREAT.

In this popular workshop, you'll learn how to save veggie scraps from waste, and transform them into a stock paste that has so many applications. It's a great cost-of-living hack, and a recipe that will become a staple in your household.

The class is hosted by Fiona Smith, a food system and low-waste cooking champion, Renew magazine columnist, and Better Circles podcast host. She will inspire you with practical skills that turn food that's on the way out into long-lasting, delicious creations.

Gain a fresh perspective on leftovers and the circular food system. Master the art of stock paste (that you can do at home when the class is over). Take home your own jars of what you have created.
