We started with my easy no-knead bread (recipe to follow) which I made with very basic ingredients.
Hannah gave us a demo on her technique for cheat's 'ricotta' and yoghurt.
We took a break for lunch digging into some of our delicious fresh bread and cheese. Next up was a jam making with Mel. She spoke about the importance of sterilising your jars and equipment and the benefits of boiling water baths for making safe preserves.
Mel will post her recipe for the tasty mandarin marmalade soon. Kate's turn was next and she ran us through some basic sewing skills, talked about the differences between regular sewing machines and overlockers and then knocked up a quick produce bag. Kate will hopefully post about this at a later date.
Overall I think they day went very well. Everyone went home with something made on the day, leaving with either some marmalade or some bread and hopefully a head full of ideas and inspiration.
