Smokin’ hot food

July 31st 2008 in food

So, today I’ve been smoking hard. Smoking trout, smoking salmon, smoking cheese, smoking garlic, smoking onions, smoking everything under the sun.

No ladies and gentlemen, I’ve not completely lost the plot and bought a massive pack of Rizlas, I’m been on one of Smoky Jo‘s food smoking course. It’s a one day course, starting with coffee at the very civalised time of 9:45am. The day covered hot smoking (where the cook is cooked and eaten hot directly after) and cold smoking, for both home and commercial purposes.

It was a fantastic day, and I was really lucky to meet Philip Holmes, who started (and runs) a charity called The Ester Benjamins Trust. He and a small band of people are doing some amazing work (watch some of the films on their YouTube channel). I wish him all the luck in the world with his ventures.

Otter smell vile. I have been near dead things that smelled better. Last time I [...]
