Spring Entertaining with Courtney Roulston Saturday 18 October

Saturday 18 October

Courtney has long been known for her vibrant, produce-led food—full of colour, texture, and generosity. Her cooking honours the land and the seasons, and in October, when nature is at its most giving, she’ll be joining us at Moonacres School to teach a class all about Spring Entertaining.

It’s a joyful exploration of what it means to eat with the seasons. You’ll learn how to make dishes that are not only delicious, but also deeply nourishing and respectful of the cycle of nature. Together with Courtney, we’ll use spring’s bounty to create a menu designed for sharing—full of flavour, simplicity, and heart.

When food is grown in the rhythm of the season, it doesn’t just taste better—it feels better. And when it’s shared around a table, made with care and creativity, it becomes something more than just a meal—it becomes connection.
