Introduction to Fermentation with Tim

Fermentation is not only great for improving gut health and preserving excess garden produce, it allows you to explore the world through traditional recipes and unlock a world of new flavour too! In this hands-on workshop your instructor Tim will share the process of Lacto-fermentation and how to do it step by step at home. In this 2.5hr workshop Tim will cover:

• Overview of the Lacto-fermentation process
• How to ferment safely and what to watch out for
• Basic equipment to acquire
• Hands-on making of:
• German Sauerkraut
• Korean Kimchi
• Salvadorean Curtido
• Suggestions and inspiration for other delicious ferments to try at home
• Tastings of the above and other fermented products

Leave with a jar of Sauerkraut, Kimchi, or Curtido and the recipes, knowledge and confidence to make much more at home.

Most equipment and materials are provided, but please bring a few wide-mouth clean glass jars for your products.
