Risotto 101: a celebration of our farm-grown rice | Babylonstoren
10th April 2025 @ 10:00 am - 3:30 pm
Join head chef Schalk Vlok for a practical workshop on making the best risotto – from the farm to your table. Farmer Ian de Villiers takes us on a stroll to Babylonstoren’s rice paddy where we grow our own carnaroli rice, traditionally used for making risotto.Back in the kitchen, chef Schalk will demonstrate how to create lip-smacking risotto in the traditional Italian style, from scratch. From this basic recipe, different styles and risotto variations will be made and tasted. Steaming coffee from the Farm Shop is served upon arrival. Lunch at the Old Bakery is included.
