Last years Passata Day with Milkwood was a highlight for me, a big highlight. When the horizon was promising another gorgeous tomato infused day, well I was glad to get a chance to be there again.
Coming together as a community with a group of like minded souls. Wonderful conversations accompanying wonderful food…well this is a highlight of life surely. Simple living at it’s beautiful, delicious best.
Trolleyd cocktails and mocktails using local, foraged, sustainable and organic goodness.
Passata… the making, the bottling
and importantly, the eating.
Passata Day 2015… you were delicious!

What an awesome event, you must have had such fun! I had my own little passata day at home and processed about 30 kgs of tomatoes, I asked my86yr old Italian nonna neighbour for advice but she told me she’d never made it in her life! My faith in humanity was nearly crushed 🙂

Oh that is funny! 30kgs is certainly nothing to be sneezed at…actually yeah, don’t sneeze in them, no one wants that in their passata 🙂

your posts, and others from Milkwood, always make this day look so fmuch fun. I’ve never tasted passata, (and I’m not a tomatoe fan), but you guys make me want to try it. I love the idea of a coming together of like minded people to play with and eat food and drink merrily – that’s real fellowship.

It is Tamara. And the good thing about it, is that it can be done over anything, not just tomatoes. Food and community, works so beautifully well.

I remember this from last year. I have a friend who has a massive kitchen and she makes passata sauce every year. The sauce she bottles lasts her right through the winter. I’m always really impressed, especially as she’s not even Italian! xx
