What is Artisan Food?

“Artisan” is a term used to describe food produced by non-industrialised methods, often handed down through generations but now in danger of being lost. Tastes and processes, such as fermentation, are allowed to develop slowly and naturally, rather than curtailed for mass-production. Artisan producers know where their raw materials come from and are aware of the different local conditions which have given rise to particular regional specialities.

Industrialised mass food production aims for uniformity and volume efficiency. Artisan production methods involve more simple yet practised skills. Producers seek to communicate a sense of the origins, both cultural and in terms of locality, of their product. Their skills give them an adaptability and resilience vital in today’s uncertain economic and environmental climate.

Artisan food is fun to learn about. Ingredients which ferment have a habit of surprising you!

Understanding and mastering artisan processes, such as bread making produces a great sense of achievement and wonderful new skills. The Courses will be teaching these skills from a beginner’s level through to a much more advanced level for experienced practitioners.

How was it for you?

“…… as well as being good fun the session was very focussed with lots of hints and tips about breadmaking in general. When we left Jon gave me extra recipes for Pastry which were absolutely delicious, as was everything we made on the day .very memorable day which I would definitely recommend ….”

“the baking course feels like just friends baking and eating together, if they aren’t friends when you arrive they certainly will be when you leave.
Most satisfying to my tummy and my mind, also completely non scary since JB manages to work in such a way that even the least capable of us come home with wonderful bread. My children were delighted with this, scoffed the lot, two children three loaves!”
