Farmer's Market Tour with Chef Karina
A farmers’ market tour is an invitation to connect with the rhythms of nature, where your food comes from, and with our local farmers, the guardians of great flavours.
Karina is passionate about farmers’ markets; she grew up eating farm-to-table food in rural Australia, which shaped her cooking style and her vibrant, seasonal approach to food.
She has dedicated her career as a chef, working across Europe and North America, learning about great ingredients and their food-as-medicine benefits. She believes nutrition begins in the soil, and that how we grow our food impacts our health.
