Event Details
This practical masterclass will teach you all the artisan crafts needed to create authentic cured and smoked products such as bacon or hot smoked mackerel pate. These traditional, artisan methods that celebrate time as an ingredient will help you unlock the ancient knowledge that transforms fresh meat and fish into classic cured products and introduce techniques such as air drying that dismisses the notion of ‘use by and sell by’ as well as intensifying flavour.
Our expert tutor Steven Lamb will guide you through the techniques of dry curing, brining (wet curing), hot and cold smoking as well as fermentation. We’ll start with a brief chat on where curing and smoking sits in the pantheon of culinary arts and focus on the special ingredient of salt as the curing agent. We’ll move on to some basic butchery, to discover where the best curing and smoking products can be found and then focus on applying the various methods mentioned above. As time forms an integral part of the curing and smoking process there will be examples of pre-made products for tasting which will also act as a guide in terms of how products change throughout the process.
Curing and smoking techniques are the beginning of cookery and anyone attending this workshop will be tapping into the culturally significant ancient knowledge that allowed our ancestors to utilise fire and eventually preserve gluts of food for times when there was little to eat. These methods open the citadel to all those sweet, savoury smoky and spicy flavours that elevate flavours to a whole new level. Typically, we will make bacon or pancetta, chorizo and salami as well as hot smoked pork tenderloin and mackerel pate. From the cold smoker we will create a range of smoked cheese or butter as well as salmon or trout.
This is the perfect workshop to fine tune existing skills or develop new ones whether you want to make single products or create platters and mezzes of outstanding charcuterie.
Program For The Day:
9.30am – Arrival with coffee, tea and homemade bacon taster
10.00am – Course starts
The day starts with a brief introduction to the art of curing & smoking and where it fits culturally in the culinary world. Next there will be a session of butchery, breaking down a side of pork which will help to recognise where the best cuts are made to create perfect joints for curing and smoking. Everybody will make their own bacon from pork belly in this session before breaking for lunch
1.30pm – Lunch
2.15pm – Afternoon session begins
In the afternoon session we will mince pork shoulder to create cooking chorizo and salami. Then we will cover brining with an opportunity to use game such as pheasant or pigeon breast and discover the benefit in using a wet cure. We will then move onto hot and cold smoking to round the day off with a hot smoked pork tenderloin or mackerel pate and a cold smoked fish.
4.30pm – Course finishes
