Smoking Course

[Swing Swang]

Well...
Sometime ago I got co-opted as chair of our local smallholding organisation (fb = Devon Smallholders)...and then one thing lead to another...and I teamed up with Janice Dalziel from Beckland Charcuterie (fb = Beckland Charcuterie) and we ran a hot and cold smoking course for our members.

Much fun was had smoking salmon, eggs, nuts, cheese, guanciale and even tomatoes!
Lunch included a selection of sausages.

All good fun and we introduced more people to the pleasures of home produced smoked food.

Some pictures below:

How fun; before I joined this forum, I knew nothing about cold smoking and now I use it regularly. It is great for smallholders to see the value-added products and processes.
