Bigham’s Food FAQ
Saturday 9 October 6-8.45pm
We kindly request that you prep for all recipes 30-40 mins in advance of the event. This will allow everyone to cook all recipes in good time and have fun along the way!
Some prep involves marinading of ingredients so please prioritise any steps that take longer or involve ‘set aside’ times.
General Instructions
- Store chilled items and fresh veg in the fridge overnight.
- Read the Before You Start section of each recipe card to help you prep like a pro.
- Check Recipe Cards for exact quantities as some may be needed more than once.
- Have the Right Equipment to hand for the session, this is listed with each recipe below.
