Alex Elliott-Howery founded Cornersmith cafés and cooking school over a decade ago. She has been preserving for 15 years, has written 4 best-selling cookbooks, and has won awards for her range of preserves. She is determined to show cooks why preserving is so important in busy modern kitchens, how to use preserving not only to make delicious homemade condiments but also as an important tool to reduce food waste at home.
(About the class)
Preserving does not have to be difficult or take all weekend. In fact, it can be as easy as turning two tired eggplants into a jar of relish chutney, a few cucumbers into a jar of pickles or the last two lemons in the fruit bowl into homemade preserved lemons. In this class you will be introduced to the craft of pickling, including fennel pickling, pickled pears and a roasted vegetable pickle demonstration. Alex uses adaptable recipes so you can interchange what you have, what you grow, or what needs using up in the fruit bowl and fridge. Come, enjoy, and learn all the tricks about pickling!
What's Included?
The course includes information about jars, sterilising, heat processing, bottling and storage. You will go home with your very own homemade pickled fennels, pears and pickled roasted vegetables. Guests are also invited to indulge in a cheeseboard at the end of the class.
This is a hands-on and demonstration class, so bring your questions, roll your sleeves up and get your tastebuds ready for a pickling party!
