Fermenting Hope

Join fermentation revivalist Sandor Katz as he explores why the creative power of fermentation gives him hope.

Hope sometimes feels in short supply. Fermentation turns our minds to the future. Its bubbles fizz, froth and foam tell us about the flourishing microbial communities that help create delicious transformation. It sustains traditions as well as much-needed connectedness. Connections to the soil, to our gut, to each other, to culture and even to ancestors. Sandor will be accompanied by author and fermenter extraordinaire Sharon Flynn, Yoko Nakazawa from Cooking with Koji and food studies lecture Kelly Donati as they explore fermentation for a more connected and nourishing future.
