Learning to make cultured foods through the fermentation process. Cultured foods provide a way of preserving foods without artificial preservatives, while providing the body with probiotics, enzymes and vitamins to support gut health. Recent research shows that gut health is linked to mood-related disorders, so learning to make and include cultured foods in our daily diet can support our holistic well-being.This workshop is a hands-on process, where participants will learn to make different cultured foods, sauerkraut, kefir & milk yoghurt, yoghurt cheese & apple cider vinegar. Taste-testing is included in the class. Please note that dairy milk is used and may not be suitable for you. Students are required to bring along some of the ingredients and you may wish to contact our Enrolment Office for further details prior to enrolling.
