Coffee training and fermentation techniques were the two activities for this week’s training. Making 3 types of pickles with the head chef of e5 Bakehouse Marcella.
The Japanese nuka bran pickles, sour beets and cucumber relish.
Chop, chop, chop. All the vegetables for the pickles. Sanitizing the jars by putting them in high temperature and adding the vinegar, spices and salt are the main steps for pickling.
We tried some of Marcella’s already made pickles, Kimchi and sour carrot as a sample and the girls were offered to come back in 6 weeks to try the pickles they made.
Then after finishing with the exciting fermentation lesson we had cold soup for lunch as the sun was too hot for a hot one!
Continuing the second half of the day we had barista training with the café manager Edward and Jean.
The lesson was about the different types of coffees and how to make a perfect shot and steaming milk.
We finished our day by having a lot of coffees and chit chatting.
Thank you,
Sana
