Sunday 12:30pm
From how to build your own smokers to how to prepare and handle meat safely before smoking or curing, Steven will teach you how to make your very own bacon at home, free from added nitrates, water, and sugar (unless honey smoking with is delicious!). Plus other smoking and curing tips, the taste of home smoked or cured food just cannot be beaten and after this masterclass we doubt you’ll ever turn back!
Anyone and everyone can and should be producing simple cured products as a matter of course because they offer so much value to the keen amateur cook. It will expand your knowledge of food and enables you to take good ingredients and turn them in to elevated versions of themselves.
