Is there a lfgss jam exchange? could there be?

Anyone have recommendations for a one-day cookery class in London? I saw the E5 Bakehouse bread class looks interesting, I was thinking Mrs. Pharoah might like a day out cooking and eating (and learning a little) might make a decent gift since she enjoys cooking/baking. What have you done/recommend?

Might be a bit meaty but the ginger pig butchery courses are excellent, plus you get loads of hints and tips for cooking a great dinner and a lump of really good meat to take home with you.

My mum and I are going to the Leiths knife skills workshop in January. We'll looking forward to it.

Sounds very cool. I'll be doing the Ginger Pig sausage making course. Nom

Sent my brother on a course in billingsgate fish market http://www.seafoodtraining.org/ he loved it and came back with a few meals cooked (wasted on me, not a fish person), can go shopping in the market before hand and store it for the day too.

Turkish style vegetables with yoghurt and green chilli oil

Lush.

^^ Want! They look amazing! I'm hungry now..

Good ideas up there thanks!

This looks very nice - I'm starving.
It was v good. I didn't bother to salt the aubergine and courgette*, just whacked them in the pan. It took a little while to cook everything as I had to do 3 batches and I didn't have any dill but it was still worth it.
Served it with buttered green beans (so good) and salad.

• I've actually never done this, is it worth doing?
  

You don't need to salt aubergine nowadays and I've never salted courgette!

Bacon Jam! OMG!

Yeah its good isn't it.
My jar lasted about a week.

I have to hold off on it. My brother-in-law has told me to bring it with me when ~I visit for xmas...

So hard.... :-(

Just make another batch!

What changed in aubergine world that means salting is old fashioned?

Improved varieties through selctive breeding. The bitterness is palatable, but salting will still reduce it and I think improves the texture too.
