Workshop Description: Exploring Fermentation

Fermentation is a living process that transforms food through the action of bacteria and yeast. In this workshop, we'll explore its potential beyond traditional ferments, applying it to unexpected ingredients like fruits, vegetables, and dairy. We'll learn to understand and support these natural processes, allowing microorganisms to work in our favor. We'll cover the basics of fermentation, including the roles of bacteria and yeast, their food sources, and ideal conditions for development. We'll also learn about the materials, temperature, and time required for successful fermentation.

Workshop Details:
