Looks fantastic, Dave! 🤩

After a summer of barbeques and Apero’s its time to think about getting back in the kitchen
We are kicking off our Autumn cooking courses to enable you to stock up the larder with Preserved, Cured, Smoked and baked foods.

Our courses are limited to 6 people per course which provides for a fun hands on friendly environment in our farm house cooking school in the heart of the Perigord Blanc 24110 Manzac sur vern. The courses start at 9.30am and finish after a generous 3 course lunch based on what you have prepared throughout the morning. €60 per person to include lunch, materials and notes.

New for Autumn 2023 is our Fermented foods course. We have been busily developing yeast cultures and gut friendly bacteria’s from the abundance of late summer fruit and vegetables ready for our first course in October.

Our Autumn schedule so far includes the following:

Saturday 7th Oct – Fermented Foods -On this course we explore Lacto, Ethyl and Acetic fermentation techniques to produce gut health friendly foods such as Kimchi, Fermented Pickles, Sauerkraut, Kombucha, Live Cider vinegar and Ginger beer.
Friday 13th Oct – Introduction to smoking 1 – On this course you learn the basics of curing and smoking in a safe environment. We focus on smoked fish producing amongst other things the best tasting smoked salmon using simple equipment that wont break the bank.
Sunday 22nd October – Fermented foods – This is a repeat of the 7th Oct course.
Saturday 28th October – Pork Pies and Pastry making – This was our most popular course last year. We make 3 types of pastry then produce a selection of home baked treats to include Traditional Pork pies and Cornish Pasties.
Saturday 4th November – Bacon and Sausage workshop – This course can also serve as an introduction to curing and smoking meat, as we will be making dry cured smoked back bacon and traditional sausages and air dried sausages.
Saturday 11th November – Bread making for beginners. This course will teach all you need to know about making amazing sour dough and yeast breads.
Saturday 2nd December – Christmas Hams. We run this course at the start of December so you sufficient time to cure your hams and gammons in time for Christmas day. We cover the butchery, curing, smoking and cooking.

So you if you fancy learning new skills, making new friends and enjoying a fab lunch email, text or call Dave on 0788370909, [email protected]
