Jacican Cooking classes and lunches in the kitchen garden, Gippsland, Mirboo North. Preserving, pastry, macaron, and 5-course long lunches.

Class calendar & private bookings Mirboo North, Gippsland, Jacican is all about regional Gippsland produce. Every day, I pick the produce that I need from the kitchen garden, watching the life-cycle of the garden. All my produce is grown using organic principles without the use of herbicides and pesticides. This method of gardening means my produce is flavourful and just how nature intended it to

be. It does, however, leave me open to the elements, meaning uniform shapes and sizes cannot always be achieved – an aspect of my garden story that I am proud of. Gippsland farmers supply beef, lamb, pork and poultry directly to my kitchen. Further produce – bread, fruits, wine, beer and spirits are sourced directly from the people who make it to my kitchen door. In the cooking school, I teach skills-based cooking classes, sharing my love of pastry, homemade preserves, harvesting and sharing meals. There are even classes for guests with specific dietary needs – gluten-free and vegan harvest lunches! In my pastry cooking classes, together we make pastry from scratch – puff, rough puff, shortcrust, and choux. I will teach you that gluten-free baking doesn’t mean sacrificing taste and that you can build your own box of lollies or a croquembouche! If you like, I could design a private cooking class for you, teaching you any cooking skills that you would like to learn for up to 10 guests. This includes macarons, dome desserts, pastry, tarts, lollies, any pastry skills you can think of, pasta or your own private harvest lunch. For more information on arranging a private cooking class, please contact me at Jacican.

I've just been asked whether it's still possible to come along to tomorrow's Citrus Preserving class.
There are still two spots available, so I've opened the booking until 10am on the day.
If we fill the class, I'll add Blood orange cordial to the list of what we are cooking, which includes
- Blood orange marmalade
- Mandarin marmalade
- lemon marmalde
- lime jelly
- lemon curd
- lemon cordial
- And spiced citrus in the Vacola
Enjoy your weekend,
💚🙏 Jaci

Yesterday was mum's hairdresser's birthday, which means that as of today I've been married to my s***k rat for 21 years.
So we made a night of it.

Jacican website seems to be broken. I have informed the IT department (also called BM) who has connected the website peeps.
It might be a day or two, so if anyone wants to book a cooking class reach out here.
Thanks,
Jaci
