Calling all foodies...link through to Smoky Jo's food smoking blog or smokeblog

I am sorry to say we have decided that we will not be running our courses in the future. 

We are of course still enjoying smoking food and talking about it! Our book is still available from sellers on Amazon as are we on Facebook and Twitter if you have any questions - and even on the end of a phone!

Smoky Jo's hosted days and weekends that were great fun, informative and very tasty for more than ten years....

We ran an award-winning artisan smokehouse until 2004 and have been sharing and teaching the art of food smoking since 2006 to foodies - complete novices and professional chefs, entrepreneurs and even viewers of BBC's One Show and ITV's Good Morning.

If you or someone you know loves smoked food and enjoys creating delicious meals at home, read on...

Although we are not running courses the second edition of our book is available through this site.

The book is based on the course and is designed not only to take away the fear of smoking food for the novice but to excite and inspire those who already have experience with food and/or smoking.

WHY SMOKY JO'S??

And why not Smokey Joe's?  Or Smoky Joe's?  Or even Smokey Jo's?!!

Well, we agonised over it.  Although the Jo bit was obviously fairly easy, what with one of us being called Jo...  But how to spell smok(e)y was a decision made after seeing both spellings all over the web then resorting to a good old fashioned dictionary... 


 

 

 

 

 

 

" ... thank you for such a fantastic time last weekend we are still buzzing from it!
We have assembled our cold smoker and are really going for it today....butter, olives, cheese, nuts and salmon... "

Lisa. F July 2016

" ... huge thanks for yesterday. I had a great time and your passion for smoking is really contagious. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and learned so much.  My family have since tried the goodies I brought home and want me smoking at home ASAP." 

Paul A. June 2016

" We had a brilliant and marvelous fun and informative course this last weekend; wouldn't have changed a thing about it. People great, food amazing, accommodation unexpectedly delightful, so very glad we came. Congratulations on a top quality event in every possible way. For anyone who enjoys food whether or not they intend to smoke, just to absorb the facts and taste the tastes its a heavenly course. Make a weekend of it or incorporate it in a holiday break. So good to meet you Jo and Georgina. ITS A MUST DO course..... "
