March Meeting - The Little Smokehouse |
Keith Meredith was our speaker and we had a very interesting meeting.
Even more interesting is the fact that the little smokehouse is no more than a small garden shed at the bottom of the garden.

On the plus side, we could all have a taste of the cheeses that he smoked and, of course, couldn't resist purchasing some to take home.

Passionate about Pasta |
Who knew it would be soooo easy to make Pasta - or so it seemed when demonstrated by
BARBARA EVEREST of
Mama's Handmade Pasta, Northampton
Barbara showed how you can make and flavour pasta with almost anything. She is seen here demonstrating pasta made with the addition of spinach to give the green colour...
She brought along some dessert pasta she had made earlier - flavoured with chocolate.
As you can see by the expression on Elaine's face... it had a distinct chocolate aroma!!!
Barbara also brought with her several bags of different coloured/flavoured pasta from marigold leaves to beetroot, which we could purchase.
All in all... a very informative evening.
