From Rog’s Cookbook: Olive Oil from Breakfast to Dessert

With Stone Roots, we will explore olive oil as an ingredient for cooking and baking, beyond salads and finishing touches. We will prepare grain porridge with chanterelles and olive oil; beans in consommé with artichokes and olives; olive oil mayonnaise; baba ganoush; fish in pil-pil sauce; and poppy seed cake with limoncello and olive oil, served with crème fraîche.

We will also taste the oil, learn to recognise quality extra virgin olive oil and explore Slovenian Istria’s oils, olive-growing history and modern processing. No prior knowledge is required.
