Join me Tuesday, September 1, 4–5:30 pm, at the Columbia Falls Library, where I will be talking about all things pickling. The first 15 participants who bring a clean 16 oz wide-mouth jar with air-tight lid will get to fill it with vegetables and brine at the end of our workshop, so arrive early! More details are available here.

This month’s Twice as Tasty workshops bring me into your kitchen to teach you and your friends how to make pickles. I teach these as fun, in-person, hands-on classes focused on a specific pickling techniques: mealtime pickles that are ready in minutes, refrigerator pickles ideal for single-jar batches, fermented pickles big on flavor and crunch, or canned pickles perfect for long-term storage. Learn more and schedule a workshop here.
