This is a series of culinary workshops for adults and youth (14+) focusing on historical and forgotten vegetables such as salsify, parsnip, and Jerusalem artichoke. Participants will learn about and prepare dishes using 18th-century recipes, exploring the unique flavors and historical significance of these ingredients.
The 'Wężymord i spółka' (Salsify & Co.) event is a series of three culinary workshops designed for adults and youth aged 14 and above, delving into the rich history of forgotten vegetables. These workshops aim to reintroduce participants to the taste and culinary potential of ingredients like salsify, parsnip, and Jerusalem artichoke, which were once staples in traditional cuisine.
The series begins on March 1, 2026, with a focus on salsify, a root vegetable historically valued for its purported medicinal properties and unique flavor. The second workshop, on March 15, 2026, will explore parsnip, a vegetable that appeared frequently in royal chef Paul Tremo's recipes, often more so than potatoes. The final session, on April 19, 2026, will highlight Jerusalem artichoke, known for its distinctive taste and versatility, whether consumed raw or cooked. All necessary equipment and food supplies are provided for participants to recreate these historical dishes.
