To quote a close family member, fellow blogger and amazing friend, “you like to make weird stuff, not the usual foodie things”.

I kind of agree but think if I did make just the usual things all the time, I wouldn’t be half the Food Nerd I am today!

Not so long ago I was introduced to the most insane spot to pick up my regular food shop by a work friend…which turned out to be Costco wholesale, the place where if you can store kilos of things, you’ll be quid’s in.

For months we’ve had 46 loo rolls hiding everywhere in my tiny flat – but hey they were on offer! We managed to stock on the essentials, giant lemons (used for my lemon curd), 2kg of quinoa and enough toothpaste to sink a battleship!

But I also found that the fruit and veggie section stored snacking cucumbers!

Now I’ve been wanting to make my own gherkins for a long time, as my obsession for eating them straight out the jar had hit new heights over the last year.

Luckily, the pack was exactly the right amount to make a jar of them for a first attempt.  

So I would love to share with you all the recipe I used as a reference!
