Wednesday 4 June 2025 7 – 10pm
Join us for an evening of food & conversation with award winning food writer Jenny Linford, a longtime friend and customer of LA FROMAGERIE to celebrate her newest book - The Kew Gardens Salad Book. The book contains 65 salad recipes that draw on the botanical nature of the research of Kew's work promoting and conserving biodiversity - encouraging people to both eat more plants and to eat a wider range of plants. We will also be joined by Helena Dove, who runs the Kitchen Garden at Kew Gardens.
