This is a very interesting class.
We are new to the pickled veg world. Simon's class gave us lots of ideas. Every vegetable can be pickled. We learned to make three most popular pickles. On top of that, we tasted many different ones Simon made himself. And they are available to purchase as well.
Very eager to try the ones we made ourselves. Hope they will be same delicious as Simon made.

Thank you, Andy, for your enthusiastic review!
We're thrilled to hear that you found our pickled vegetable class interesting and gained lots of ideas from Simon's expertise. Indeed, every vegetable can be pickled, and it's wonderful that you learned how to make the three most popular pickles.
Simon takes great pride in creating a wide variety of delicious pickles, and we're glad you had the opportunity to taste his creations during the class. It's even better to know that his pickles are available for purchase, so you can continue enjoying them at home.
We hope that the ones you made yourself turn out just as delicious as Simon's. Don't hesitate to let us know how they turn out. We look forward to serving you again in the future.
Please have a look our long list of cooking classes and tasting sessions, classbento.co.uk/t/simon-and-hannas-foodie-kitchen
and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank you very much to Hanna and Simon for a lovely cooking class.
It is a mind-blowing experience. Learnt the authentic methods Asian people fermented vegetables in history.
I went home with three types of fermented vegetables. Tasted a few Simon's signature pickled vegetables in their shop as well. Hanna and Simon provided all equipment including the glass bottles I took home with my final works.
Very clean shop and well organised class. Considering I was alone while a couple having different class. I certainly enjoyed my class and decided to book their class next time.
