New Session! Traditionally Good Food at Brymbo Enterprise Centre 🍓🍏🍅

Traditional ways to save, preserve and enjoy good food!

Before fridges, freezers and supermarkets, we had clever ways of making seasonal food last. Jams, chutneys, pickles, drying fruit were all part of making the most of what was available and ensuring that precious food was not wasted. These sessions bring some of these heritage food skills back to life through a series of friendly, hands-on workshops.

Come along and make jams, chutneys and Christmas cake to take home. You’ll be reducing food waste and eating traditionally good food!

Take a look at our upcoming sessions below, each session can be booked individually depending on your interests:

🍓 Week 1: Classic Jams - 2nd November | 9:30AM - 11:30AM

🍅 Week 3: Drying - 16th November | 9:30AM - 11:30AM

This time last month I was a participant on a growing session, now I have a new hobby!! 😆💚🌱
Obviously it’s too cold now for growing peas to pod, and I have experimented with sprouting, but cannot consistently remember to rinse 🤦🏼‍♀️ However, I am enjoying growing pea sprouts on the windowsill 🪴it only takes a couple of weeks and they are ready and fresh to eat 😋🍽️

The apples were looking lovely too, so I’ve harvested some to make jam tomorrow. Also my lovely neighbour has given me some cooking apples so I have to decide what I’m going to make with them 🍏🍎🫙🤔🥧

Our homegrown tomatoes are looking lovely so far and taste delicious, especially as we keep them on the kitchen windowsill and eat them at room temperature 😋🍅🥪

🌊Cold water swimming, well it might not be wild but I love my pool💧After a long day on my feet, or any other day, I love a dip, even if it’s just wading around 🩵It’s supposed to have many benefits but I like best that it soothes nerves and muscles, and reduces inflammation. It boosts the circulation, metabolism and immune system too 💚 Best of all I like the physical activity even if I can only fit in a couple of swimming strokes 🏊‍♀️ I just don’t know how much longer it will last for now 🍃🍂🍁🎄🥶

And already it’s time to reflect on the last few months. Not a single aspect has been quiet! I have been settling into a new job as cook at Stori Brymbo. I have had practical classes and assessments for my Pilates instructor course (where I have survived solo camping stop overs⛺️). Obviously there has been cooking sessions and I’ve met a couple of lovely new clients for nutrition and psych support. Hopefully there will be some time to relax in the Autumn 🍂 😌 See you soon 💚
