Two training events to support tourism business in Mid Wales are being organized by Organic Centre Wales next month. One takes place in Glansevern Hall, Newtown on 15 March and the other at Treberfedd, Dihewyd, Ceredigion on 22 March.
Daphne Lambert is the tutor for both. She has been a chef for over 30 years, many of which were spent running the organic restaurant at Penrhos on the Welsh borders.
As a qualified medicinal nutritionist, she founded Greencuisine, a food centre helping students and visitors to understand the relationship between soil, food, health and vitality, with an emphasis on food choice and preparation.
Daphne is the author of Little Red Gooseberries, a collection of recipes from Penrhos, and the co-author of The Organic Baby and Toddler Cookbook.
“Food intolerances and allergies present an increasing challenge for tourism and food related businesses,” says Carolyn Wacher, who is organising the events for Better Organic Business Links, a three-year Organic Centre Wales project to build organic supply chains. “This course is for all those who provide food for their visitors, and who increasingly face requests for alternatives to wheat, gluten, milk and other foods.”
“Daphne works with organic and seasonal produce wherever possible, and she will be using these for her demonstrations. She has a huge amount of experience in these matters and the events will be well worth attending. We are expecting a high demand for places, which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.”
The courses are free to tourism providers in Mid Wales. They are being organised jointly by Organic Centre Wales, ADAS Wales, Tourism Partnership Mid Wales and Medrwn.
