ABOUT

Whether it's the ancient Mongols and their sauerkraut, the ancient Indians and their pre-dinner lassi yoghurt drink, the Russians and their milk keffir, or the Koreans and their kimchi, fermented foods have been around for ages. Praised for its plethora of health benefits through the action of beneficial bacteria, it's long been known that ferments unlock important nutrients in foods, improves flavour, optimizes your immune system, detoxifies your body, and is critical to a holistic approach to health and food security.
 
Come share in this collaborative workshop as we explore:
  • Ferment basics
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Sourdough
  • Kombucha
  • Keffir and keffir cheese
  • Kimchi, and
  • Sauerkraut
This is a participatory workshop where we'll get hands on making all of the above, leaving you with enough practical experience to go home and start making your own ferments. Participants will also receive cultures of most of the above ferments.

Cost per person is R300.

In the spirit of transparency, please see this link for a breakdown of our estimated costs.

This workshop will only go ahead if there are 11 confirmed paying participants, so please share with those you feel may benefit. This is to ensure we cover our costs, keep the workshop fee low and make this education accessible. In the event we do not reach the 11 humans target, your ticket will be fully refunded. Tickets are non-refundable otherwise. Confirmation that this workshop will go ahead will be announced on Monday 28 May 2018.

What to bring:
  • Snacks and a dish to share for a communal lunch. In the spirit of compassionate sharing, please ensure what you bring to share is kosher / halaal / vegetarian, and no stress if you're unable to bring anything, there should be plenty to go round.
  • Your own crockery (plates, cups and mugs) and cutlery
  • An open mind and your inner genius
Looking forward to connecting and co-creating a rich learning experience with you!

Stay awesome you crazy creatures.
