Festive foodie gifts

Homemade gifts can be both unique and personal as well as a lovely gesture to receive. The recipes you will make in this class can be made well ahead of gifting, will store well, and also make a last-minute gift easy!

We’ll have a Christmas playlist and some mulled drinks to enjoy as you learn some basic recipes which you can then adapt to create different variations.

You will make:

• Festive fudge – a very easy to make fudge with a lovely crumbly texture that is sure to impress your friends and family. There will be a variety of optional additions to add to your fudge.
• Piccalilli – a lovely cauliflower chutney to serve with cold a cheese plate. Once sealed, it will keep for 3 months and make a perfect Christmas gift.
• Gingerbread syrup – We will demonstrate how to make an easy syrup that adds an impressive twist to any coffee or hot chocolate. Once bottled, it will keep for up to 1 year.

We’ll also show you some great ideas for decorating jars and bottles to give a professional finish to your gifts.

We will have some festive refreshments to eat and drink too.

This is a hands-on cooking class, suitable for beginners or people with some baking experience or interested in learning new techniques. All food made can be taken away and enjoyed at home.

We will supply a bottle and a jar. Please bring some containers and a bag to take your creations home.

Please wear appropriate clothing for a kitchen environment e.g. closed-toed shoes. Aprons will be provided.

If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, or you would like to talk about any of the ingredients we will be using in the workshop, please let us know when you are booking.

This workshop will be led by Kat Riach. Kat runs her own bakery at Lochaber Farm. She is a passionate breadmaker and loves sharing her skills with others. Kat also works with Greener Kirkcaldy.

This event takes place in our Lang Spoon Community Kitchen in Greener Kirkcaldy’s Community Building. Find out how to get here.
