Agenda
When you arrive at the venue you will be greeted with a cup of tea or coffee. You'll start your day with a health and safety briefing and then look at the basic principles of food smoking and the components of a smoker. You'll then assemble a smoker and prepare the food you'll be smoking. Guests are expected to get involved in some simple food preparation. Aprons are provided. While the food is smoking you'll take a look at the different methods for generating smoke and the different types of wood used for food smoking. You will get a chance to sample some of the 14 different woods and enjoy their characteristics. You will also learn how to hot smoke a trout, smoke almonds and produce the most fantastic smoked salmon you have ever tasted.
There will be a break for lunch, where you can enjoy some homemade soup and bread with some smoked accompaniments. Throughout the day you will sample all the food you smoke and get a chance to take some home with you at the end of the day (if there’s any left).
As a course delegate you will receive a link via email to download a 29 page booklet on food smoking and a link for you to download a complete set of detailed engineering plans for a food smoker.
