Clippy (aka Michelle Mckenna)

Clippy is the founder of Clippy's Apples, a unique awarding winning brand focused on British-apple based preserves. Her products are sold nationally through Ocado, Harvey Nichols, E.H. Booths and Fortnum & Mason. Over the past 15 years Clippy has travelled across the globe, savouring the delights of diverse cultures; from apple butter to green figs picked from Atlantic rooftops and from bohemian cafés to camping under the stars. These memories have inspired Clippy's taste buds and in her 'Preserving the Nation' workshops no two preserves are the same – from 'Bramley & Rosy Raspberry curd to Marinated Goats' cheeses infused in saffron & garlic oil. This is why BBC Countryfile recently commended Clippy as "pick of the best... preservers" in the UK. Her passion is infectious and her talent for preserving anything is impressive, if you stand still long enough, she will 'preserve' you!! Gillian Cowburn Cumbria's famous foodie described Clippy as "The star of the show, Clippy is so enthusiastic about her subject, it's impossible not to be encouraged in your relish endeavours". Come and see 'The Master Preserver' in action!
