Artisan Curing & Smoking at Home
3rd Sunday of the month
Learn to make your own cured and smoked meats, vegetables and spices with Alex Chambers - my husband,
charcutier, qualified teacher and Leader of the educational food charity Slow Food
Warwickshire.
The unique Squisito Artisan Curing & Smoking at Home workshop
is designed for keen amateurs, butchers, chefs, coeliacs and as a
practical introduction to meat curing and meat preservation at home. Squisito (that's squiz-eat-oh or 'exquisite' in Italian) are qualified teachers as well as accredited farmers
market food producers and BBC Good Food Show & Slow Food Award Winners. Ours is the voice  of experience.
Unlike other courses Squisito workshops are practical and educational so you will be tasting, making and learning the functional skills of curing and smoking to gain a compass to work by so you can assess recipes or products you collect to pass your skills on to your friends and family.
Courses start at 09:30 for 10:00am and finish at 4:30 to 5:00pm.
The day starts with an educational breakfast of cured and smoked products. Students then learn to make a brine, gravad lax, salt beef, pancetta, and a choice of cured n'duja (spicy smoked semi-dried Calabrian sausage), Berlin Currywurst, bresaola, soused mackerel, biltong or smoked cod's roe plus how to prepare and smoke spices and vegetables in season.
Maximum course size is just 4 people so that students get personal attention and time to learn and practice their skills and you get to take home a share of the day's produce.
 As you can see from the pages below Squisito provide detailed course notes with dozens more recipes and links for reference and reinforcement. All Squisito recipes are gluten free and the workshop includes an introduction to food safety and HACCP for food producers. Squisito do not use artificial ingredients, chemical or bought in mixes - we teach you to make and grow your own!
The workshop objective is to inspire the student to cure and smoke food at home easily and safely with skill and artistry. Artisan Curing & Smoking at Home is the foundation for Artisan Sausage Making at Home and our Advanced Salami Making Course in Tuscany with Sapori e Saperi. Our student's Squisito reviews speak for themselves.
For groups of 4 or more students Squisito can arrange to teach at your own home, village hall or suitable venue.
Squisito also design fully professional one-to-one tailored workshops with full HACCP and practical production advice in addition to functional skills and affective learning. We can arrange to teach you at your own premises or farm and organise a programme or apprenticeships for your staff.
