This Saturday, the Bone Building kitchen was filled with the warm, citrusy aroma of golden marmalade as we hosted the Marmalade Club. 🍊✨ Our wonderful demonstrators, Anita and Stacey, guided guests through the intricate details of making the perfect, golden, and non-bitter marmalade.

What a fantastic start to the “Food for Thought” talk series with @eafestivaluk 🫛 A packed room of curious minds hung on to @franconatoora every word as he broke down the complexities of food systems, modern farming practices and supermarket labels – all tied back to one simple yet powerful principle: flavour.

If you missed this one, don’t worry! Our next talk is on the 20th March with Josiah Meldrum and Carolyn Steel and promises to be just as thought-provoking.
