Let’s get our jam (and hot sauce, kimchi, pickles, etc) on!

You want to learn how to preserve fresh fruit and veggies, and make delicious condiments like jam, mustard, hot sauce, kimchi, chili crisp, and pickles for your friend's and family, but the reality of making your own — picking a flavor, safety concerns, shopping and prepping ingredients, properly cooking to a set, filling jars, safely processing, labeling, and storing — can be daunting.

Or maybe you are a teensy bit lonely or craving better adult friendships and want to connect with an awesome group of people in a healthy and dynamic space?

Or maybe you want to improve your cooking skills, focus, and kitchen coordination?

Then this club is a perfect solution!

Laena, cookbook author, chef, and food entrepreneur, hosts live virtual classes once a month, where we cook a recipe together and you get every question answered.

You will be welcomed into our community of food makers that is active daily, sharing recipes and offering support in the kitchen.

Every month, you will join founder Laena for 1-hour virtual sessions on Saturday mornings (sessions are recorded if you cannot make it), and get expert support and advice whenever you need.

If you need any supplies or ingredients, you can order from us or use our handy shopping guides to connect with suppliers in your community.

Together, we'll make delicious, beautiful condiments, and you’ll get the recipes and guided instruction and support to build the pantry of your dreams!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We provide:

• Live monthly workshops via Zoom.

• Our private video catalog of classes and recipes.

• Access to our private club WhatsApp group, where we share tips and offer support in the kitchen.

• Beautiful recipe cards that you can print or archive.

• A private digital library of recipes that have been tested by professional cooks.

• The expertise and camaraderie of an amazing group of home cooks and canners (yes, they sometimes become lifelong friends).

YOUR TAKEAWAY:

Beautiful, handcrafted condiments made quickly and efficiently in one hour at your home. When our virtual workshops are complete, you will have fantastic handmade condiments to share that are labeled, ready to gift, safely packed to store and eat months to come with friends and family.

You also get to enjoy the company of some amazing people in an intimate and healthy space as we cook together and swap tips and tricks!

You can sign up for one month or more, and cancel anytime.
