Workshop | Anyone can BBQ. The perfect rub is another story.
Throwing a good piece of meat on the grill: anyone can do that. But the flavour that stays with you comes from the seasoning. In the BBQ & Rub Workshop of the Spice Academy, Tobias Funke, two-Michelin-star chef and founder of Manufaktur Funke, shows you what real barbecue is about and why the rub is the soul of every cut. You’ll get to know the building blocks, taste your way through salt, sugar, paprika, pepper and chilli, and understand when to use what. At the end you blend your own rub and take it home. No experience needed. Just an appetite for smoke and aroma.
Take a look, 30 seconds.
An evening that changes the way you cook.
✦ Sensory training
✦ dozens of spring tastings
✦ Create your own blend
✦ Everything included, CHF 80
What's included in the price?
All materials, over 30 different spice samples and your own spice blend to take home are included. No hidden extras, CHF 80 is everything.
Do I need any prior knowledge?
No. The workshop is for anyone who enjoys cooking, whether beginner or ambitious home cook. The only requirement is a curious nose. But professional chefs are welcome too, because this goes far beyond what a chef learns during their training.
How long does the workshop last?
Approx. 2 to 2.5 hours. The workshop deliberately isn’t run to a strict schedule; if you have questions, ask them. There’s a short break after the sensory training.
What do I need to bring?
Just good spirits and an appetite. Everything else is prepared, materials, jars for your blend and tastings.
Do we make our own spice blends?
Yes, that’s the highlight of the evening. You choose from different components, blend to your taste and create your own personal spring blend by hand.
