This is a full-day immersive and hands-on experience we are now offering in Esholt in the renovated village hall, where you will learn how to practise the craft of making fermented foods, whilst also becoming more knowledgeable about gut-friendly nutrition and gut health mindful living.
These days are perfect for anyone interested in learning about sourdough basics, fermented foods and connecting with people & nature. We are excited to support and inspire you on your gut health journey, even if you are a complete fermentation novice!
On the day:
  • Introduction to sourdough starter & flatbread making
  • Red cabbage, apple & cranberry Sauerkraut & Preserved Lemon making
  • A light lunch of Borsch with Sauerkraut
  • Optional 30-minute nature walk
  • Preserved Lemon making
You will receive your own sourdough starter and we will teach you how to feed & nurture it whilst learning about the sourdough process. We will then make sourdough flatbreads that you can stuff and bake at the end of the day.
You will also learn the art of the dry salting fermentation process – through making both a sauerkraut and preserved lemons.
A light lunch of Borsch will give you the opportunity to sample the Sauerkraut – all part of the learning experience.
Lunch is followed by an optional 30-minute nature walk where you learn why walking with trees is more than just a peaceful escape… we will talk about why connecting ourselves more to nature is also good for our microbiome, thus complementing a gut health lifestyle.
Towards the end of the day before we bake our sourdough flatbreads we will make preserved lemons.
To note, Esholt is a village situated in the Bradford area, close to Baildon and Guiseley (Leeds).

Emily Carey has been teaching different groups of people to cook classic and original dishes for over eight years in various venues around Leeds. Driven by her passion to make cooking more widely accessible, Emily came up with the idea for Get Cooking in 2010 and has been continually developing her business and incorporating fresh ideas ever since; opening her unique cookery school in Farsley, Leeds, in 2016.
Where it all began
From a young age Emily was made to feel that food was something exciting to be enjoyed. She grew up with parents who made most things from scratch and surrounded by a lot of culture – with a father teaching pottery and a mother involved with studying and writing books. Little cheeses, yogurt, bread, wine and beer were as well as clothes and some furniture were all home-made. Dinners were fashionably late and long drawn out affairs of mainly Mediterranean cooking influenced by Elizabeth David and many travels to France, Spain and Italy often squashed into an old Renault 4.
“As a child I loved to spend my pocket money on things like olives and anchovies from little markets or shops. I also have a vivid memory of sitting in the school playground thinking I would probably end up working with food and teaching. It’s funny to think back to those early hunches.”
Emily’s experiences of food continued to develop through a number of key people who strongly influenced her. It’s no surprise then that she has gathered a little food knowledge along the way.
In some senses Get Cooking wasn’t planned – it just grew. Emily has always had an eye for good recipes, good ingredients and a natural flair for knowing what foods work well together. Although a busy working mum she can always cook up scrumptious home cooked feasts for friends and family described as “one of the most sociable people I know.” That with some of the new ideas is the ethos she brings to Get Cooking.
