Introduction to Straw Bale Construction Menu

The ladies of the church will be doing the cooking with Anita's assistance so you should let her know about any dietary preferences, allergies, etc. We prepare both vegetarian (often vegan) and non-vegetarian dishes for most meals and can accomodate most food allergies. (The cooking at last year's workshop was a big hit.) We cannot accomodate requests for diets based on religious requirements (Kosher, Halal, etc.) so if that is a factor please be prepared to make other arrangements.

This menu has been created to sustain everyone while they are working very hard all weekend. Please note that fresh fruit and some snacks and water will ALWAYS be available in the dining room should anyone require sustenance at any time other than those noted below. There will be some room in the fridge at the church for your food and drinks.

If there are any allergy/tolerance issues with this menu, or just questions about ingredients, please email me ASAP so that I can make accommodations where necessary. Please note we have a PEANUT and FISH/SEAFOOD free kitchen (but we will be offering some granola bars that have peanut butter in them trusting that everyone will be cautious and wash up after eating them).
