Herbert
Kitchen Library is a collaboration between artists Niamh Riordan and Gregory Herbert, exploring reciprocity and sustainability in systems of food production, and the ways in which food shapes our landscapes and communities. The Kitchen Library hosts our regular Chopping Club events, as well as monthly Fermentation Bonanza workshops by Abundance and Plenty, the food and fermentation project of our former volunteer Basia Lesniak.
Chopping Club is an invitation to cook and eat together, to gather and share knowledge and memories around food, and to build connections between each other and the networks of growers, producers and food systems which bring food to our tables.
Chopping Club meals are cooked in the library itself, so that the smell of our cooking fills the space: an invitation to join us. Everyone chops, so everyone has cooked lunch for everyone else. In our Bootle Library kitchen we also prepare and store big batches of preserves, ferments, herbs, spices and seasonings for use in meals throughout the year.
Kitchen Library and Chopping Club is part of the At The Library Programme which produces artist-led workshops, projects, commissions and happenings in Sefton Libraries.
