Fermenting with the Seasons- Autumn Edition
Ferments Course
Mon Sept. 18
1 session, 3 hours total, 6 pm – 9 pm
Sydney Community College – 2A Gordon St, Rozelle
$219.00 incl GST
As the spring and summer season approaches, we tend to spend more time outdoors entertaining and sharing meals with friends and family.
Every culture in the world serves ferments with food. It’s an ancient way to balance your body and at the same time enjoy delicious and nutritious meals.
I am a wholefood chef, educator, and fermenter. Join me for an evening of gutsy goodness, as you learn all about fermenting and pickling the best of the season’s produce.
You’ll come away with knowledge on how to prepare your own wild ferments.
You’ll discover how you can add them to your meals and snack and why they’re so good for you – plus a tasting of “ones we prepared earlier”.
You’ll take ferments and pickles to be cared for at home later… two-jars-full!
What will be covered in this festive ferments course?
- Some history and background on wild fermentation and naturally cultured pickled vegetables
- What fruits/vegetables work best for each season and why
- Recipes and tips
- Sterilizing your containers for food safety and success
