Connect to local food on a microscopic level with fermentation: the ancient practice of preserving and enhancing food by way of a simple dance with nature.
Anyone can safely ferment foods at home. In this class we will learn how human culture and civilization are linked to fermentation, get a glimpse at practices around the world, and soak up an overview of the phenomenal health-giving properties of cultured foods.
Most importantly, we will cover fundamental techniques for fermenting vegetables and beverages with a focus on spontaneous fermentation. We will taste delicious examples of fermented foods.
You will leave class with:
-straightforward information on how to safely and easily ferment foods at home
-knowledge of the history and benefits of fermented foods
