Italian Journey and Gastronomic Experience

Sabrina grew up in Umbertide, a town nestled in Umbria, the green heart of Italy. But her roots comes from a Tuscan father and a Sicilian mother of whom she is very proud.
Her greatest desire has always been to travel and to meet new and interesting people from different cultures. This has taken her to many different places from which she has absorbed the cuisines, scents and flavours, creating in her a profound passion for good food, and recently this has led her to transfer her base to London.
Her cuisine is versatile, creative and tasty, as well as tied to tradition and to her roots. She is truly passionate about using local, seasonal ingredients of the highest quality and preparing and cooking them with the greatest possible care and attention. Now that she is based in London, she sources her products in farmers' markets and specialist Italian suppliers.
She is always looking for new and exciting challenges to prove herself and to grow both in her personal life and in her work. The path that she has decided to follow is a fusion of her passions and she wants to pursue it in the best possible way.

Liam Elliott Brady

Tere is a Londoner but has a passion for Spanish food. Her father is Spanish and her family live in Barcelona where she also lived for 14 years and she regularly returns to fill her suitcase with hard to get ingredients!

As a lifelong cook, Tere's food has evolved over time and she is always looking for new inspiration and ingredients. She never follows recipes and her knowledge is gained from her Spanish family.

Spanish food is known for its flavour and simplicity and Tere will explain some of her favourite dishes and give you several hacks so you get insider knowledge!

During this 2 hour class you will see how to make two or three dishes and find out all about the ingredients and methods of preparation.  You will then get to sit down and enjoy the freshly prepared food in a very special location!

Spanish Foodie Fun on a cool London houseboat

Kate

Your expert tutor Tere is proudly Spanglish (half English/ half Spanish)!  She is a huge foodie and will enthusiastically explain how churros and chocolate are made (and eaten) in Spain and specifically in Barcelona where her family are based.

Tere will guide you through all the ingredients she uses in this typical dish starting from scratch. You will get to see the making process and help her at key stages of the class, especially the fun bit of frying the dough and watching the churros come to life, before getting to eat them!

The location for the class is very unique and cosy so can only accommodate small groups, so perfect for couples, parents with children or friends getting together.  Tere will give students a real insight into living on a boat in a central London location and you may even meet some of the local birdlife floating past!

Sourdough Bread for Beginners

The roots of condiments are in fermentation, for instance the name for mustard comes from the French meaning a hot must,  must is pre-fermented wine to which crushed mustard seeds were added. Now most commercial condiments contain large quantities of sugar and additives. We look at how to make condiments using just natural ingredients.

We’ll be going over the definition of fermentation and its health benefits, distinguishing fermentation from other methods of preservation like pickling or canning, and the main principles behind safe fermentation from start to finish.

We’ll start by laying out the main fermentation technique which will serve as a base for our recipes. Then we’ll delve into production - we’ll make a fermented ketchup, fermented Mexican salsa, and a fermented Caribbean chutney for you to take home and ferment according to our specific instructions.

We’ll also discuss other recipes such as fermented sriracha, probiotic mayonnaise, fermented mustard, salad dressing, and much more.

Throughout the course we’ll suggest all sorts of ingredient substitutions and recipe variations to encourage you to get creative with your ferments based on what you have at home, as well as how to use them in dishes.

Pasta Making Masterclass- Chilled and Super Fun!

Becky 

In the class, we will be looking at Kombucha brewing and we will also spend time looking at other drinks, such as dairy kefir and water kefir. You'll gain a better understanding of lacto fermentation, as we look at preservation, the natural way!

Kombucha is an all-natural, raw fermented tea, milk kefir is a cultured dairy drink and water kefir is a water-based version. They are all a delicious dose of goodness for your gut, low in sugar and packed full of beneficial acids, lactic bacteria, enzymes and antioxidants.  They are both known to carry the highest variety (up to 40) of lactic bacterial strains.

In our small classes, we will discuss everything you need to know about fermenting and brewing your own Kombucha at home.  You'll receive your own scoby to take home with you, to begin brewing Kombucha. You will also receive kefir grains to make your own dairy kefir & water kefir at home.

During the workshop, you will get to try several different flavours of Kombucha and kefir we have on the go as well as enjoy some light snacks & fermented vegetables. You will learn how to create your own Kombucha flavours, how to create the lovely natural fizz, how to care for your scoby & kefir grains, maintain and grow them so you may produce kombucha and kefir endlessly. You will leave with recipes and the knowledge to experiment further at home.

This stuff tastes a lot better than anything store-bought, most likely contains more beneficial bacteria. It will save you a lot of money in the long run if you're buying it from stores at the moment!

Our 2 locations are easy to get to in Dalston with 2 stations in walking distance & many bus routes.
