The workshop is for the curious person who's heard about fermenting & preserving, but doesn't know where to start. It's to encourage people with basic food skills to have a go at putting some of the surplus produce away for use in future meals.

Rolling with the seasons, develop a few skills to use the abundant produce, put some away for later and knowing how to use up your food scraps certainly comes in handy.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Working with only basic kitchen tools, the stove and fridge learn a few simple techniques that will save you dollars, add colour, flavour and nutrition to your meals. Nothing super fancy pants, just some good old fashioned skills to keep you eating decadently all year round – even if you thought there was only the bare bones of a meal on the loose.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

In the 1 & 1/2 hour workshop we’ll discuss several preserving and fermenting techniques of:

- sauerkraut
- fridge pickles
- dip
- vegetable stock -chutney

An edible discussion will top off our time together as we graze on our newfound knowledge and then take home your ferments!
