1pm The Power of Spice

Spices have long held a desirability that, centuries ago, would draw Western explorers, into a hypnotic race to discover unknown worlds and captivating ingredients. Chef and food educator Stephen Guy aka ‘The Hungry Guy’ takes you on a global and historical taste tour, explaining how the Spice Routes of the 16th Century impacted the way the world eats and allowed the sharing of traditions, ingredients and recipes that has forged the way we eat today. Illustrated with multiple dishes from around the world discover how the Spice Routes forged global empires and incited wars. Accompanied with a glass of IPA.

You will start the journey with two iconic dips served on Transylvanian caraway bread, then travel south with cheese filo pie and a fantastic, tangy-sweet gherkin stew in tomato sauce along with a conversation about cooking with pickles. To finish in style, you’ll go north-east to taste the sunny flavours of cornmeal and richness of crème fraîche with honey roasted fruit.

Utilising what many consider ‘waste’ founder Ben Wilson, will explain how OsNosh makes food go further, feeding the many hungry people of Oswestry, by also augmenting community involvement by encouraging sharing experiences, hosting ‘Food Share Tables’ where lunch is free, made with surplus food, including ferment workshops and urban agriculture tuition. Where meat is involved, it’s about high welfare and local, working closely with Treflach Farm and Babbinswood Food.
