Free Workshop: September 1
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.

Host a Twice as Tasty Workshop
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.
