Fermentation Workshop

Unlock deep flavor using simple ingredients and time. Learn lacto-fermentation, wild ginger bugs, and custom hot sauces to take home. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how simple, time-honored preservation methods can transform humble ingredients into rich, complex flavors using very little. Rather than chasing modern trends or relying on complex substitutes, traditional preservation and fermentation emerged out of resourcefulness and necessity - a way to stretch seasonal produce, avoid waste, and build deep flavor from basic kitchen staples. We’ll break down the practical techniques so you can easily do the same at home.

Ginger Bug & Natural Sodas: Building a wild starter culture from fresh ginger to brew simple, naturally fermented drinks using just three ingredients. You’ll take home your own active jars to ferment on your counter, and a ginger bug
