“I am really thrilled that Jo and Georgina have produced a guide to smoking food. I had a fabulous time with them at Smoky Jo’s and despite already knowing quite a bit about the process I learnt a whole lot more. I really appreciated the excellence of their teaching which was so clear, so thorough. It is great to be taught by people who are masters of their craft but still manage to make it accessible, do-able and fun. I have been experimenting with hot and cold smoked food with confidence ever since!” 

– Diana Henry, award-winning food writer, Sunday Telegraph food columnist.

Jo Hampson and Georgina Perkins have been smoking food for many years. They owned a small well renowned artisan smokehouse that counted Fortnum and Mason, Selfridges, and Harvey Nichols among its customers. They also smoked privately for The Prince of Wales.  They now run the highly acclaimed food smoking school in Cumbria, Smoky Jo’s.

Smoky Jo’s have been recently been listed in the top 9 courses to do in Europe by The Lonely Planet Guide; in the Top Ten Cookery Courses in the UK by The Telegraph; in the Top Ten ‘Days Out for the Boys’ by The Times.

Jo and Georgina also work as advisors on commercial food smoking and have worked with top food writers; have consulted on TV programmes and advised on factual books. They have also been featured on BBC’s The One Show, ITV’s This Morning and The Great British Taste Tour.
