Ever wondered how garlic can transform a dish — from its bold raw bite to its sweet, mellow roasted flavour? Join Grow Cook Learn for a hands-on Garlic Workshop at Reimagine Co. in London, Ontario, on October 8. You’ll taste, cook, and learn all about this kitchen essential — while enjoying a garlic-themed community meal together!
Date: October 8
Time: Doors open at 5:45 PM, workshop begins at 6:00 PM
Location: Reimagine Co., London, Ontario – https://reimagineco.ca
What You’ll Experience
• Connect & Share: We’ll start with a fun icebreaker to get everyone comfortable, then introduce the London Community Resource Centre and our community garden.
• Garlic Spotlight: Discover the fascinating history of garlic, its health benefits, and tips for growing it at home — yes, you can plant it in the fall!
• Taste Test Demo: Watch and help create two simple spreads in the food processor — raw garlic vs. roasted garlic — and enjoy them with crackers.
• Hands-On Cooking: Roll up your sleeves and join your group in preparing a delicious garlic-inspired dinner, featuring dishes like Garlic Chickpea & Spinach Stew, Rustic Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans with Garlic Scapes, Garlic-Lemon Salad, and Garlic Bread with Roasted Garlic Spread.
