  • 5/5 from Caroline Cook, attended Apr 2026: Learning to pickle was my surprise date for my husband who loves to cook. I loved our pickling class as much as he did! We created jars of pickles to take home that look so good and make great gifts. David shared a wealth of information about the history of pickles and the benefits to gut health. I learned so much. The venue was an absolute stunner. I highly recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Daphne Malcolm, attended Jan 2026: Very informative and fun, hands on class. David is a great teacher. Would recommend this class to anyone interested in healthy eating.
  • 5/5 from Paul Herickx, attended Nov 2025: I was finally able to book myself in for David’s pickle making class last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed the 1.5 hour session. As well as David being very knowledgeable about pickle making, the minimum you’d expect (!), the conversation also bounced around many interesting subjects and the time just flew. I haven’t tried them yet but some of the many jars will be opened at Christmas and can’t wait to try them then. A fun way to spend a Saturday morning, would recommend!

  • 5/5 from Chris Spoors, attended Nov 2025: David certainly knows his stuff, having done this for a lengthy period. A highly enjoyable time.. learning a lot of health promoting information and life changing advice.
  • 5/5 from Divya M., attended Oct 2025: My friend and I had a great time learning about pickle making and the techniques involved.
