The Experience

Pickles have been adding crunch and zing to our plates for centuries, preserving and transforming ordinary veggies into flavorful bites of joy. Whether you're a pickle aficionado or just love a good taste test, this live online class with chef Ashlee Lewis offers a fun, hands-on experience that’s brimming with history, flavor, and creativity. Ashlee will guide you through a blind tasting of three unique pickled cucumbers, then show you how to achieve pickled perfection of your own. Get ready to pucker up and pickle down!

  • Discover your pickle preferences with an interactive blind taste test of three mouthwatering small-batch pickle varieties (see "Comes with the class," below).
  • Working with a custom pickle-tasting scorecard, capture initial impressions and inspirations that will prepare you for the DIY portion of the class.
  • Dive into a hands-on pickling session where you’ll learn how to create your own custom flavors, balance different acids (i.e., vinegars) and salts, and explore both traditional and adventurous spices.
Class length: 75 minutes.
Comes with the class: Our Handcrafted Pickle Gift Set includes three lip-smacking varieties expertly handcrafted from farm-fresh California cucumbers and custom brines of dill, garlic, jalapeño—even gin.

About

When Ashlee Lewis' 10-year-old son said he wanted to be a vegetarian, Ashlee got to work on ingredients and recipes. A busy attorney, Ashlee found the change to be a health bonus to herself as well. The New York native spent part of her childhood in South Carolina's Gullah Geechee culture, and she adapted her family's Southern cooking to her new way of eating—and was soon teaching others how to embrace plant-based cuisine. "Food isn't just a foundation for health," she says. "It's a love language, and I love playing a role in that expression."

For this class, you'll need the included Handcrafted Pickle Gift Set, sticky notes or painter's tape, a permanent marker and pen or pencil, a plate, a pickle fork, your printer Pickle Tasting Scorecard, a medium saucepan, a medium mixing bowl, a pint-sized glass spring-top or Mason jar, labels, and a knife in addition to the ingredients listed in the link below

Fun!

I've taken a few classes now, and Uncommon Goods has a knack for finding great instructors! Ashlee has such a lively, upbeat personality. She was engaging and fun. I'm a big experimenter when it comes to recipes, so I loved that she continuously encouraged us to go off the script and add whatever appealed to us as we created our pickles. The tasting portion was a fun experiment, yet my favorite part of class was the pickle making. I'd have been happy to stay on for an extra 15 minutes of class to allow for a more relaxed pace. The ingredient/pre-instructions are thorough, but here's a heads-up for my fellow tortoises: I would add to get your ingredients chopped before class starts. This may not be necessary for everyone, but I'm recovering from a hand injury and missed some of Ashlee's instructions while I battled my hand to get things chopped as we went along. I wish I had set myself up better. If you have any movement/dexterity issues or just prefer to move slower, do yourself a favor by chopping up your cucumbers, onions, garlic, etc, just before joining the class. Ashlee was so warm and likable that I would have preferred to give her my full attention! I apologize that I don't recall our moderator's name, but I'd like to add that she was enormously helpful in typing out instructions as we went along! Overall, so fun!! I tried my pickles this morning, and they're delicious. I'm definitely making more. Ashlee clearly has a passion for cooking, so if UG adds more from her I'll purchase without hesitation!

This was a fun evening with friends!

I loved learning how easy it is to prepare pickles! The instructor was inviting and made the whole process easy and entertaining. I know I could have read a recipe and done it myself but I love the little tips and tricks and suggestions for variations and options.
