As part of Forth Valley Food Festival, we’re teaming up with local chef Sara MacMillan from The Kitchen at 44 King Street to deliver two family friendly cook-alongs. These will take place live on our Facebook page on Monday 12 and Monday 19 October at 4pm.

Kate White, Head Gardener at Bannockburn House, said: “We’ll be broadcasting live from the gardens of Bannockburn House, showing you how to whip up two savoury recipes using some common store cupboard ingredients and fresh local veggies. We’ll also be showing you how the veggies are grown at Bannockburn House and talking about how using seasonal produce can help reduce your food miles.”

Thanks to funding from Stirling Council, the first 30 local participants to register for the cook-along events will receive a free veggie pack delivered to their door.

A recipe card will also be issued, detailing any utensils and store cupboard ingredients required.
