STREET FOOD SUPPERCLUB MARCH 25 - CRANSTON PICKLES X TAP SOCIAL ✌🏼

We have our next street food supperclub coming up soon! And we are quite behind on sharing all our supperclubs we did last year - and all the beautiful photography from !!

This was the second in our street food supperclubs - from our summer supperclub series! AUTUMN EDITION. Which has then continued on a monthly basis since 🥹

Produce locally from Seoul Plaza (RIP💔) + - was also thrilled to have some of the produce from my very own garden! 🥹

We started with a kedgeree scotch egg, then Okonomiyaki for main + this stunner of a pudding to finish! So I thought I would make it the pickled star of the show for this post.

FIG LEAF PANNA COTTA. Fig leaf milk jam. Pickled blackberry. Sea salt. I discovered fig leaves last summer and found a lovely local tree whose owners were happy for me to pick as many as I needed. What an amazing ingredient - safe to say I got a little obsessed. And milk jam?? Also obsessed.

There are still tickets left for our March street food supperclub - go go pickle go!

£27 for 3 courses of creative street food style dishes using locally sourced + seasonal produce. Treat yourself to a feast to celebrate the teasing of Spring we have been having lately! Would love to see your pickliscious faces there 💛💛

BIG NEWS! CRANSTON PICKLES - PICKLE WORKSHOPS!

We have been asked for quite some time if we teach pickle workshops - and it is finally happening!!

We are throwing our first pickle workshop this month ON THURSDAY 20 FEB !! They will be at in the covered market and run on a monthly basis - the third Thursday of each month! A super casual, fun + informative 2 hours class where I will teach you how to pickle with vinegar! 7 - 9 PM ✌🏼

Tickets include a drink from Tap’s bar, learning how to make three types of vinegar based pickles, recipes to take home and a little spread at the end of the class to enjoy together! All produce will be locally sourced from in the covered market - and will reflect the seasons, in our usual Cranston Pickles style!

I am super excited for this new venture (and a little nervous of course!) but it’s going to be a fun couple of hours learning all things pickles!

Go to our pickle shop for more information + to grab your tickets - link in bio ✌🏼

Hope to see you all there and assist you in getting your pickle on 🤗

JAMS! Autumn edition 🍂✌🏼

PLUM, FIG LEAF, GINGER + WHITE MISO

BLACKBERRY, GINGER + RED MISO

We have been busy making our new season jams! Ready for your autumn porridge and cosy cakes. They are fab with a cheeseboard too - the miso balances out the sweetness and makes them super tasty with sweet or savoury. These two are really something special 💛

Plums and blackberries from the lovely and the fig leaves picked from a local garden. The fig leaves add a vanilla-ry, coconut-ty flavour - a flavour I have become slightly obsessed with this year!

They are now up to grab on our pickle shop! Go go pickle go! I was going to wait and launch these with our festive range in November but I just can’t wait any longer!

Our Pickle Shop will be closed from 12-25 October as we are overseas for a family wedding and break before the pickliscious Christmas busy spell! Orders will be sent out Friday so get your orders in and they’ll be on their way to you (+ your bellies) then!

💛💛💛💛

SUMMER SUPPERCLUB SERIES // Seasonal Supperclub! Dish Three : Chicken Katsu scotch egg with pea shoots + house mayo! With Jersey royals in sesame dressing + our smacked cucumbers for the table!

Produce locally from + Seoul Plaza ✌🏼

I love Japanese Sesame dressings - in all their forms! It was something I enjoyed in restaurants, home stays and meals cooked by friends during my trip to Japan earlier this year. So I decided to make one to coat some lovely jersey royals while they were in season for the table to share! It isn’t always the most pleasing on the eye to some - but in flavour there is nothing like it, (in my humble pickled opinion).

Also to the 🥚 egg - this was the first meat scotch egg we have ever done for one of our supperclubs! Using meat from our lovely local ✌🏼+ we made a rice version for the veggies on the night too - with our pickled carrot + ginger chopped into both mixes! A great way that we love to use pickles in our dishes! And it went down a pickled storm.

THERE ARE A FEW TICKETS LEFT FOR OUR SEASONAL SUPPERCLUB ON FRIDAY !! This Friday 04 October - tickets are out until Thursday go go pickle go! Little sneak peak - the fried course this time will NOT be a scotch egg 😮🙊 what will it be I wonder? An absolute favourite of mine that’s for sure. 🐓💛

SUMMER SUPPERCLUB SERIES // Seasonal Supperclub! Dish Two: Pan fried asparagus in cultured butter with Jalapeño + miso jam, Pangrattato and sesame!

Produce sourced locally from Gloucester Green market + ✌🏼

Our second dish on our seasonal Supperclub menus is usually more of a delicate one! That really focuses on one star vegetable that’s in season. On this occasion it was asparagus - just in time before the short season was over! Which went great with our Jalapeño and miso chilli jam - a new addition to our range this year! And a sister to our ever popular “sweetie chilli darling” sweet chilli jam 🌶️💛

Our next Seasonal Supperclub is ONE WEEK TODAY !! FRIDAY 04 OCTOBER!! The menu will be featuring our local with some of their lovely produce that’s still in season!! 🌽 🥔🙊

We are half sold out so go go pickle go if you would like to join us!! It’s going to be pickliscious - as always 😎

SUMMER SUPPERCLUB // Dish Four : Lemon Posset with Preserved Lemon + olive oil! And blob of cream with fresh ginger on top for good measure.

Produce sourced locally from + Seoul plaza ✌🏼

This dessert is a real summer delight and the yellow dessert of my pickled dreams 💛 I have to give a huge shout out to for the inspiration and base recipe - to which we pickled it up with our preserved lemon infused olive oil! I have learnt so much from her weekly Substack newsletter The Dinner Party - if you don’t know already (but you probably do) go + check her out! She has a book coming out soon too which I have absolutely already pre ordered - and you can too✌🏼

Our next supperclub is THIS FRIDAY 02 AUGUST !! A big pickliscious thank you to everyone who has grabbed their ticket!! We still have a few tickets left - go go pickle go!

📸 by the zesty - some of his finest work! It may be my favourite dish he has ever photographed - absolute sexy sunshine on a pickle plate 🥹🌞🍋💛✌🏼

OUR WINTER PICKLE SHOP LAUNCH!

We have been busy restocking our absolute favourite pickles, alongside other jams and a brand new preserve for you! I’ve been making the most of citrus season - bringing some sunshine to the pickle kitchen on these rainy days! 🍊🍋🌞💛 have a look on our Pickle Shop to see the finished pickled articles!

🍊 Seville + Blood Orange Marmalade with ginger + miso! BRAND NEW!
🍋 Pickled Lemons with Matcha + Peppercorns!
🫚 Pickled Radish! With Ginger, Chilli, Mustard Seeds + Pepper!
🧅 Pickled Red Onion! With Beetroot, Mustard Seeds + Pepper!
🌶️ Chili Jam! (Sweetie Chilli Darling)

Our Pickled Lemons with Matcha + Peppercorns is my all time favourite pickle I think. It’s got it all in terms of balance - and I feel it’s something really quite special. It’s got the sourness from the lemons, sweetness from the sugar, sharpness from the vinegar, earthiness depth of flavour from the Organic Matcha and a little spice from the peppercorns! It makes a really good cocktail - particularly the brine! Think of a Matcha Pickletini or a pickled G+T! 😌🍸

Thank you so much to everyone who has placed an order since our Winter shop launch Saturday! We will be sending them out tomorrow when we are at the pickle kitchen! Get your order in this evening if you’d like to get your pickle fix before I head off ✌🏼

I am keeping my pickle shop open as much as possible while I am away in Japan (thanks for my pickliscious mama) but there will be times where I have to pop a pickle pause on (as no one will be able to pop them in the post for you) 💛💛💛💛

Hello you lovely pickles! We have been a little quiet on here this year so far - doing lots of behind the scenes business alongside a little pickling for you. BUT mainly working towards something pretty huge!

I AM HEADED TO JAPAN NEXT WEEK FOR MY RESEARCH TRIP!! 🎌🥹😭🥰

Some of you may know - some may not! But I have been saving for a number of years now - to go and explore, learn, work + EAT my way around Japan! And it is finally time 😬🥹

I have had a love for Japanese cuisines since my first trip as a wee nipper back in 2015! I have been studying the Japanese language on and off since - as well as learning as much as I can from books, (mainly cookbooks).

I love to use Japanese ingredients, inspiration or methods within my preserves and cooking - so I want to go and gain authentic understanding of each ingredient and learn from the heart. I have spent time in Japan over the years but not to explore the food and it’s origins specifically. It’s also my dream to learn to make miso in Japan during Miso making season!!

I feel very lucky to be able to go on this trip - but feel even more lucky to have all the friends + contacts I have made over the years - on previous trips as well as working in Japanese restaurants in the UK. Most of whom I’ll be seeing - and even working with while I am out there!

If you know anyone in Japan who would like to let me in their kitchen, do some pickling or cooking with me, show me around an area or even just have a ビール🍺 please pop me in touch! I will be there for two months + have a rough schedule mapped out but any people, recommendations or tips then send them my way pretty pickle please! 💛

We will be updating our online pickle shop this weekend so you can get your pickle fix before I go! I’m going to try and keep our pickle shop open while I’m away as much as I can (with the help of my lovely mama pickle) but there will be times when I’ll have to pop a pickle pause on! All pickle subscriptions will continue as normal each month ✌🏼

I’ll be continuing with my weekly pickled newsletter while I’m away so feel free to subscribe + join me from wherever you are! Link is in our bio 💛💛

I AM BEYOND EXCITED
たのしみですよ！！
