Spring Fruit: Loquat 101

Presented by  Richard Cornish  Spring Fruit:Loquat 101 workshop is a journey into discovering the world of foraging, sharing and free food in our neighbourhood. 

Join award winning food writer Richard Cornish as we cook and prepare drinks and dishes made with loquat, the first of the spring fruit. A popular backyard tree in suburban Melbourne, particularly in the West, its plump orange fruit are packed with nutrition and often overlooked as a valuable food source. In this one hour ‘masterclass’ we learn how to make a jam, a fruit mocktail, a cake and a salad using this common backyard fruit.
