Welcome to the SA Herb Academy’s
Summer 2012 Class Schedule

Bouquet Garni and the SA Herb Academy proudly present a series of classes and 1-Day workshops aimed at helping people grow and enjoy their own home-grown green cuisine.

There are a number of ways to learn a new skill. You can jump in without any prior knowledge and count on the "sink-or-swim" reaction to pull you through. You can find "free" information on the internet. You can read books. Or you can go straight to someone who is already doing it well. In addition to the invaluable hands-on experience you'll gain, you'll also become more motivated for any supplemental reading and book-learning. And you'll meet some fabulous people in the process.

A popular feature of our classes is the couple fees. Because food gardening and cooking are such splendid social activities we allow participants to bring a spouse, child or friend along at a discounted fee.

Get Togethers

These fun-filled and informative mornings are for those who want to experience the thrill and satisfaction of Cuisine Organique and Food Gardening. They are a great family activity.

Get Together's are held in rural Pretoria (just 10 minutes from the N1 Zambezi tollgate) and offer participants the opportunity to break away from the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a working organic food garden and herb growing operation.

Food Gardening 101
The worldwide trend to plant and eat your own vegetables and herbs, apart from making economic sense, is becoming a fashionable family activity. Not even to mention the impact on the environment, recycling, "Going Green" and delighting your family and friends with your own home-grown green cuisine.

This fun-filled morning is full of ideas to help you to get started. "Been there, done that"? Then come and discover how the Go Food Gardening system can help you grow better quality crops and improve your results.

Cuisine Organique Classes

Most people think that healthy food is bland and boring. Our classes proof the opposite. Aromatic, stimulating and delicious beyond words can also be healthy and contribute to your overall health and vitality.

Each class is structured around a handful of delightful recipes and offers practical solutions for putting healthy cooking into effect. You will learn how ingredients and portions look when using healthy cooking guidelines. You will also discover how clever use of herbs, spices and other flavours can give you an endless repertoire of delicious dishes.

Classes are held in rural Pretoria (just 10 minutes from the N1 Zambezi tollgate) and offer participants the opportunity to break away from the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a working organic food garden and herb growing operation.

Cooking classes are a great family activity, a fantastic team building tool and a wonderful kitchen tea for the new bride and her friends and family. Interactive hands on classes can be tailor-made for groups.

Cooking with Herbs and Spices
 One of the things that set our classes apart from the contemporary culinary school is our focus on fresh herbs and spices. To us they are the savoir faire (the Touch) of bouquet garni cuisine organique. We treasure them as flavouring agents which unlocks a wealth of creative opportunities; and for the important role they play in maintaining our overall health and vitality. This class will delight all your senses and equip you to cook dishes bursting with flavour and vitality.
