TRANSITION Town Wellington’s sustainable food group is holding the fifth of its annual chutney-making events on Saturday.

Participants at the event at the Methodist Church, Waterloo Road, will have the chance to learn from experienced local cooks, chop vegetables, assemble the ingredients, stir and take home a share of the chutneys made – and a recipe booklet.

All ingredients and recipes will be provided at the event, which runs from 1-4pm. Booking is not necessary and children are welcome if accompanied by a responsible adult.

The benefit of making chutney as a community group is that participants can take home one or two jars of each chutney made rather than, as an individual, having lots of the same type of chutney.

The event is free to attend but donations are appreciated to help pay for kitchen hire and ingredients. Anyone who has excess vegetables they do not know what to do with is invited to take them along.
