The Experience

keyboard_arrow_up

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.

About

When Ashlee Lewis' 10-year-old son said he wanted to be a vegetarian, Ashlee got to work on ingredients and recipes. A busy attorney, Ashlee found the change to be a health bonus to herself as well. The New York native spent part of her childhood in South Carolina's Gullah Geechee culture, and she adapted her family's Southern cooking to her new way of eating—and was soon teaching others how to embrace plant-based cuisine. "Food isn't just a foundation for health," she says. "It's a love language, and I love playing a role in that expression."

For this class, you'll need the included Handcrafted Pickle Gift Set, sticky notes or painter's tape, a permanent marker and pen or pencil, a plate, a pickle fork, your printer Pickle Tasting Scorecard, a medium saucepan, a medium mixing bowl, a pint-sized glass spring-top or Mason jar, labels, and a knife in addition to the ingredients listed in the link below
