PLANTS, CLAY & FIRE

// AN ELEMENTAL COOKING IMMERSION //

21 - 24th MARCH 2025

Gumbaynggir Country // Valla, NSW

The intention of this immersion is to be in a village where we will come together in presence and connection. Sharing songs and silence, cooking and eating together, being with the sunrise and sunset, sitting in tea ceremony and connecting to the land.

I invite you into deepening your connection to food, where it comes from and how it’s prepared. We’ll be coming together on a sacred mountain on Gumbaynggir Country, Valla NSW. This immersion is an embodied and hands on experience diving into the essence and themes of my cookbook, ‘Plants, Clay & Fire - Bring The Earth into Your Kitchen’.

Together, we’ll be dropping into a slower pace aligned with nature, where presence is our priority. I welcome you into the practices that help keep me connected to myself.

We’ll journey through different cooking themes - using fire and charcoal, cooking with spices, making curry pastes and fresh coconut milk, fermenting dosa and grains, cooking in banana leaves, preparing lentils and legumes and cooking in clay and stone pots, plus much more…

THE LOCATION

The immersion will be held on Nunguu Mountain, at A Native Escape - a bushland off-grid retreat space set up by my friends Hugh and Jess.

The property is surrounded by native forest with ocean views. It’s very special. I’ve spent time on this land and felt the potency of it and the love and care that has gone into the creation of the place.

When I first thought of a retreat space, I envisaged it to be peaceful and quiet, away from a town and traffic and surrounded by native forest. This has it all…
