Skills-based cooking classes and five course-long lunches in the kitchen garden in Mirboo North, Gippsland.
Jacican is all about regional Gippsland produce—if the food you harvest, cook and share at Jacican hasn’t been grown on-site, it is more than likely been sourced directly from a Gippsland farmer.
In preserving cooking classes, you will learn to cook chutney, sauce, marmalade, jam, relish and homemade cordials from produce directly harvested from the garden, then bottled and labelled just like you brought it from the store.
Jaci will explain the different preserving methods, why some things cook for a long time, why some are short cooks, why some preserves use a thickener and how to use the Fowlers Vacola method to preserve fruit and vegetables.
In pastry cooking classes, you will learn to make puff pastry, lard, sweet shortcrust and ruff puff pastry all from scratch.
Macarons have techniques and hints that you will only learn in a hands-on cooking class.
Making your own box of lollies cooking class is just fun!
Each day, Jaci spends time in her kitchen garden planting and harvesting the fruit and vegetables you will pick yourself at a five-course long lunch called Walk Amongst the Weeds.
