You’ll come away with a whole lot of knowledge on how to prepare your own wild ferments ( no starter required), and brined pickles. You’ll discover how you can add them into your daily diet, and why they’re so good for you. There’ll also be a demo on how to pickle with miso, plus tasting of “ones we prepared earlier”.

It’s the weekend and you and your friends have dumplings on your mind — it’s only natural. The one type of food that seems to be universally popular is the stuffed pocket or dumpling. It’s a comfort food that can be made with the simplest ingredients. Every culture has its own style and flavour.
Join me to explore different cultural dumplings, flavours, shapes and cooking styles to take home and try with family and friends. Stuffed with your favourite sweet or savoury fillings, it’s impossible to stop at just a few of these salty and moreish parcels. Whether they are steamed, boiled, baked, pan fried or deep -fried. We will explore Momo’s popular in Tibet and Nepal, Mandu Korean kimchi dumplings, Chinese rice paper dumplings, Polish Pierogi and more.
