Part 1 + 2: Understanding Flavours + Sensory Farm Experience
Think flavour is just taste? Think again! Discover the surprising truth about what flavour really is and why that morning coffee tastes so different when you have a stuffy nose. Enjoy a hands-on flavour workshop, guided by flavour scientist Sam Ryo. Learn the same definition that flavour scientists use and find out why understanding this difference will change how you experience every meal. It's simpler than you think, but more amazing than you'd imagine!
- Unlock the hidden layers of flavour in everything you eat and drink
- Taste with more awareness and appreciation using simple techniques used by sommeliers and scientists alike
This workshop includes guided hands-on tasting to hone our flavour perception, as well as a brief walk through Edible Garden City's Sensory Garden to taste, feel, smell and touch some of the locally-grown herbs that will might eventually flavour your Gin & Tonic concoctions!
Part 3: Build Your Own Farm Fresh Gin & Tonic
With your newfound understanding of flavour, taste freshly-harvested local herbs and edible flowers and have fun building your own Gin & Tonics using the beautifully botanical Monkey 47 Gin, under expert guidance from experienced Pernod Ricard representation, Tom Wood - free flow for endless creations! Sweet, sour, bitter and even salty - mix and match different elements for your own unique G&T; some add-ins might be classic (think limes or rosemary), while others might raise an eyebrow (or both) in a delightful way. Experiment as much as you like during the free-flow session.
