You wouldn’t know it from my accent but I was actually born in Newcastle. I’m really excited to be teaching some workshops in my home town at the lovely Hut on the Green in Gosforth, a real hub of community creativity. I did a couple of days there last year and it was wonderful so I’m delighted to have been asked back.

We’ll make sauerkraut, kimchi and a seasonal brine pickle. Participants will take home a jar of each and a recipe sheet but, more importantly, the knowledge and confidence of this lifelong skill.

Tickets are £50 and available via the Hut on the Green’s own website.
