Have you got the fermenting bug? Are your jars of ferments taking over your pantry? Are you wondering what else you can do with your ferments other than serving them straight from the jar? If so, this is the workshop for you!

Get creative in the kitchen with local chefs Tracy and Soane to explore how ferments can be used to enhance your home cooking. French-trained chef Soane Pasi will lead you in learning useful techniques you can use and combine in your own kitchen to create delicious dishes using a variety of fermented foods and fresh, seasonal ingredients. 

This session includes a group meal at the end featuring a full lunch spread incorporating each of the ferments. There will be lots to learn and plenty of food to go around! So bring all of your questions plus a keen appetite!

This is the third and final installment of a 3-part fermentation workshop series, where the fundamentals were cemented in Part 1 and our skills developed in Part 2. So now that you have a cupboard full of fabulous ferments, it’s time to get creative in the kitchen with them!

Full 3-Part Fermenting Course tickets as well as Single Session tickets available now!
