Experience

10-10.45am Mill Tour

This class starts with an exclusive guided tour of the adjoining Town Mill; a pre-Domesday water-powered mill dating back to at least 1340, the time of Edward III. 

• We will visit the Stone Floor, Sack Floor & Meal Floor
• A miller will share about the history, restoration and present day working of the Mill
• We will see the waterwheel in action, powering half-ton millstones grinding grain into flour
• See a demonstration of the milling process and how flour is made the traditional way
• Get hands-on, raising a sack hoist and milling grain

11am-1pm - Class

We will then move next door to Strawberry Tree and begin baking.

Together we will create:

• A cake using Giselle’s magic cake formula

Learn how to make moist, delicious cakes, that are quick, easy and adaptable, all based on this simple formula. Choose your base ingredient - flour, polenta or gluten free.  Then choose your flavour, what will it be – chocolatey, nutty, fruity?

• An Upside-down Orange & Cardamom cake

Sticky, citrussy and a real crowd-pleaser. Made with preserved oranges.

Giselle will demonstrate:

• Preserved oranges - gooey and delicious
