Two Day Whole Hog Masterclass with Troy Wheeler (Meatsmith)

Join us for two days of masterclass with renowned butcher Troy Wheeler (Meatsmith), to learn how to utilise the whole hog. The inspiration for this masterclass comes from rural kitchens, where thrift-driven, resourceful cooks sought ways to preserve, without refrigeration, as much of an animal as they could.

Falling into a career as a butcher in a small border town on the Murray river, Troy Wheeler (Meatsmith) soon yearned for a greater understanding of where produce comes from. Eager for a greater understanding of his craft, he made the move to Melbourne and after rising the ranks at one of the city’s best butchers, he embarked on a journey with renowned chef Andrew McConnell to create one of Australia’s most bespoke butchers focusing on the best quality heritage meats.
