Inedible or Incredible?

In a future of uncertain food supplies, do we need to open our minds to unusual options? This year’s Gastrolab will push the boundaries of the edible, asking you to consider adding to the menu things you may never before have thought of as food.

With edible Kokedama installations from Pyrus Flowers, a presentation from Craig MacFarlane on insect cuisine in Benin, gourmet insect mousse from EntoBox & a selection of locally foraged delights selected by Miles Irving, GastroLab promises to be so good you’ll want to eat it!
