5 Plant-Friendly Foodie Gift Experiences

Don’t get us wrong, everyone needs socks and jumpers, but not for Christmas. Let your loved one buy their own jumper and give them a foodie gift instead. And while you're at it, give them a gift that will help then to learn a new foodie skill and comes without all of the packaging. Here's our list of 5 delectable foodie gift experiences that are on our Christmas wish list, and we think they should be on yours too!

 

1- Ice cream Making Workshop with Blutop Ice Cream

For those of you who frequented Victoria Park or Brockley market,  you will no longer find Richard and his little blue van. Heartbreaking, I know. But if you still need your ice cream fix, why not learn how to make it from the man himself! He runs both dairy and non-dairy ice cream workshops where you will learn all the need to know info and you get to eat ice cream. Go to @bluetop and book via the link in the bio or via Eventbrite. Classes range from £70-75.

 

2- Full Day Fermentation Workshop at London Fermentary

There aren’t many better ways to kick off the  ‘new year, new you’ campaign than learning a new skill and learning how to look after your gut microbes? Based in the foodie heaven that is Spa Terminus in Bermondsey is London Fermentary who run a series of evening and full day workshops focused on teaching punters the ancient art of food and drink fermentation. Learn to differentiate between kefir and kombucha and how to ferment basically any fruit or veg going. Check prices and availability via @londonfermentary.
