Come spend a wonderful Saturday transforming tomatoes in the company of food stylist & cookbook author Blake Mackay and preserving teacher & cookbook author Camilla Wynne.

The morning will be spent learning the fundamentals of safe water bath canning and putting up tomatoes and salsa before taking a break to share a delicious, wholesome lunch. In the afternoon we will craft ketchup and fermented tomato kimchi (which makes an insane bloody mary, FYI!).

Each participant will leave with 4 jars of delicious preserved tomatoes, 4 ways.

Bring an apron and a bottle of wine if inclined!

The cost is $125.

This workshop is bilingual!
