Pickles have been adding crunch and zing to our plates for centuries, preserving and transforming ordinary veggies into flavorful bites of joy. Whether you're a pickle aficionado or just love a good taste test, this live online class with chef Ashlee Lewis offers a fun, hands-on experience that's brimming with history, flavor, and creativity. Ashlee will guide you through a blind tasting of three unique pickled cucumbers, then show you how to achieve pickled perfection of your own. Get ready to pucker up and pickle down! Discover your pickle preferences with an interactive blind taste test of three mouthwatering small-batch pickle varieties (see "Comes with the class," below). Working with a custom pickle-tasting scorecard, capture initial impressions and inspirations that will prepare you for the DIY portion of the class. Dive into a hands-on pickling session where you'll learn how to create your own custom flavors, balance different acids (i.e., vinegars) and salts, and explore both traditional and adventurous spices. Class length: 75 minutes. Comes with the class: Our Handcrafted Pickle Gift Set includes three lip-smacking varieties expertly handcrafted from farm-fresh California cucumbers and custom brines of dill, garlic, jalapeño—even gin.
