What's On

Members' meeting and end-of-year celebration - 'Native Edibles in Cooking'

Date:   Saturday 22 November 2025.
Time:
 2pm
Venue: 
Gumnut Hall, Gumnut Place, Cherrybrook
Join us on Saturday 22nd November for an informative talk and slideshow by APS Parra-Hills member Linda Pine

on how to use some of our amazing native fruits and ground leaf powders in cooking.

Linda started on her native edible journey about 10 years ago by first making Finger Limem armalade and native tamarind relish. Since then, she has tried her hand at many more flavours, has also dried and ground Bunya nuts into flour and finessed many everyday recipes to include native herbs and spices.

Many of us have been 'taste testers' for some of these recipes which have been put together in a small booklet 'Using Native Edibles in Cooking' by Linda Pine and Lynn Jones. With ongoing experiments and new ideas for flavours there is an updated version of the booklet in the pipeline which will have some

old recipes refined a bit and also include a couple of new ones that Lynn and Linda have come up with.


Location of Gumnut Hall

Gumnut Hall, Gumnut Place, Cherrybrook.


Gumnut Hall is at the closed end of Gumnut Place, a side street off Gumnut Road, Cherrybrook. On weekdays this hall is used by Cherrybrook Community Preschool, so on maps it is often referred to by this name. Gumnut Place is narrow and winding, and parking is limited, so it is best to use any parking space you see, and walk the short distance to the hall. Gumnut Road is much larger and parking is easier.
