Community Workshop Series by The Corner Store Network
Oakleigh-based Corner Store Network is a family-run social enterprise that works closely Timor-Leste, sourcing coffee and jarred preserves from the small nation and improving outcomes for the locals. Thus far it’s sent almost a million Aussie dollars to Timorese farmers.
To further its mission, Corner Store Network is running a six-part community workshop series where you can master Spanish cooking with Movida’s sous chef, nail patisserie techniques with a former Falco pastry chef, cook brunch with a former Gimlet chef, learn to pour latte art with Corner Store’s head roaster and [get the ins and outs of Moroccan cooking with a Free to Feed alumnus. Corner Store Network’s passion for reducing food waste through preserves is tied in, with a few of the workshops incorporating different house-made preserves.
