Jack ‘Rocketman’ Crotty, whose newly-opened venture on Cork’s Prince’s St, along with The Golden Bean Coffee, is already buzzing with delighted diners, gives a demo on pickling and preserving vegetables as part of a workshop programme which also includes Imen ‘Modern Farmette’ O’Donnell on buttermaking, smoker supreme Sally Barnes’ on ‘fish smoking in a biscuit tin’ and Sally McKenna gives a seaweed workshop based on her excellent tome, Extreme Greens.
