Living Lightly - Fermentation for Everyday Kitchens

Curious about fermentation but unsure where to begin? This workshop will explore simple, practical ways to bring fermentation into everyday kitchens. From yoghurt to kimchi, we’ll look at how familiar foods are transformed using natural processes and how you can confidently create your own ferments at home.

Participants will learn the foundations of fermentation, including how it works, key food safety considerations and the differences between common types of ferments. We’ll explore accessible options suited to a home kitchen, focusing on achievable techniques and everyday ingredients rather than specialised equipment or complex recipes.

This workshop is part of the Living Lightly series and is delivered by Bass Coast Adult Learning in partnership with Bass Coast Shire Council.

Registration is essential so we can keep in contact if there are any changes and ensure adequate materials for all participants.
