Smoked at Abergavenny Food Festival

By Leave a Comment

Hot-smoked Beef RibsI’m so pleased to tell you that I will be back at wonderful Abergavenny Food Festival this September with an intimate smoking masterclass, featuring recipes from SMOKED.

I am a huge fan of Abergavenny, which is such a special food festival, and so I cannot wait to return. Many of you have enquired about a private smoking class, which I do offer, but this is your opportunity to pick up lots of tips and tricks from me in a small class. I can’t wait!

Here’s what the website says about the session, and the link to book tickets is below. Oh, and you can buy a signed copy of SMOKED here.

“Charlotte Pike shows you how easy it is to smoke your own food at home, without the need for lots of equipment or space. Charlotte will explain the differences between types of equipment, such as the Big Green Egg, homemade cold smoker and stovetop smoker, and talk through the different woods, rubs and marinades, covering all the options, so that you can find what suits you.

You will make and taste some smoked ingredients and try out some recipes, which might include hot smoked salmon, smoked duck salad with pomegranate, orange and watercress, and smoked cheddar, leek and mushroom tart.

There will be delicious tasters to try and a chance to have all your questions answered so that you can get started at home.”

Last summer, I opened my own pop-up in Birmingham, which ran from Monday 22nd August to Saturday 3rd September 2016, featuring a wide range of events, from cookery classes, to a daily pop-up café and Friday night supper club. It was a huge success and tremendous fun.
