This workshop is for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding and expand their experience with fermenting and preserving seasonal ingredients at home. Build on the basics and add to your toolbox of techniques as you explore the art and science of fermenting for extending the longevity of food, boosting nutrition, and enhancing flavour!

Explore how to utilise everyday home-kitchen equipment and get hands-on with chopping, mixing, soaking, grinding, and baking as Tracy and Soane demonstrate creative ways to transform simple, raw ingredients into delicious, versatile ferments.

The workshop includes multiple recipes and snackable samples of each so you can experience both the process and the finished products. Come away with the confidence, curiosity, and know-how to go beyond just vegetables, and try your hand at fermenting so much more!

This is the second installment of a 3-part fermentation workshop series, and the techniques and recipes in this session will give you the experience and the ingredients to really get creative in the final session - Part 3: Cooking with Ferments, with Tracy & Soane.

Full 3-Part Fermenting Course tickets available now!

Single session tickets available from Friday 12 March 2021.
