Alice’s Baking Class - Sauerkraut and Shortcrust Evening

Enjoy learning to create two kinds of sauerkraut as well as a crunchy and shattering crusty shortcrust pastry which you can apply to much more bakes and dishes back home in your own kitchen armed with this fresh knowledge. Take home a jar of fermented and ready to eat sauerkraut alongside your freshly baked produce at the end and your new sauerkraut (which is likely to be ready to eat 12 days later.)  All ingredients, equipment, facilities and parking are included. You need bring nothing. 
 
You will make a King Charles Coronation quiche alongside a classic Bakewell tart in a relaxed and friendly environment with full guidance and demonstration, by Alice, along with a glass of wine (healthy soft drink choices also available), and a delicious smorgasbord of various foods will be laid out for you to keep you going throughout the evening.
 
The idea is that you learn to create sauerkraut and a shortcrust pastry items, enjoy yourself, and find the whole evening fun and retain the knowledge to be able to continue to do this afterwards. All of this with full guidance and attention, whilst we hope that you ask lots and lots of questions along the way. We love to think that you may be fully armed and set up to avoid any highly processed pastries plus feed your gut with probiotic fermented food after this experience. We use organic flour, as many local and seasonal ingredients as possible and no artificial additives are used here. 
 
These classes are ideal for individuals, groups of friends, as a soiree, or for corporate team building.
 
You will be creating, and taking home:-
 
1. Sauerkraut - 2 kinds
2. Shortcrust Pastry for the below:
3. King Charles Coronation Quiche
4. Bakewell Tartlet
 
 
It takes place in Titchmarsh Village Clubroom, only a couple of doors down from the bakery. It is a good space with two fan ovens, and parking, it helps that the environment will be just like a home kitchen so that you can learn to do this in your own home more readily.
 
The class will consist of up to 10 people, pairing up for some of the equipment and activity, all of us together in one space. I will demonstrate everything first in any case and also assist. There is no pressure! It is all meant to be fun!
 
Be prepared to get stuck in... you will be weighing, rolling, lifting as well as working with a hot oven, involving handling hot pans, graters and sharp knives.
 
Wear something that you don't mind getting floury and doughy! And be able to roll up your sleeves, and be comfortable. Don't worry about your clothing too much or a pinny; it's relaxed. 
 
Alongside the baking experience there will be a selection of food choices as a grazing buffet. We hope that we please everybody, examples include antipasti such as olives, artichoke hearts, falafel, a selection of cheeses, sauerkraut of course!, parma ham, grapes. Gluten free won't be something that we are able to provide on this day unfortunately, as wheat is going to be all around us at all times.
 
NOTE: Please be advised that within 8 weeks of the workshop we cannot cancel a reserved place and give a refund however we will attempt to re-sell your place should you need us to, and if successful, we will refund you.
