Festive Ferments Workshop
Say cheers to good health and great taste with our cooking short courses in Sydney!
Celebrate the season with a twist of tradition and a dash of good bacteria! Join author and wholefood educator Marcea Klein for a hands-on morning of festive fermenting, where you’ll learn to transform seasonal organic produce into delicious, probiotic-rich treats.
In this special festive edition of our popular Fermenting and Pickling for the Seasons course, you’ll:
- Make a party season probiotic salsa or chutney – perfect for festive platters
- Create a naturally fermented native herb probiotic summer pickle, using seasonal ingredients
- Watch a demonstration of a naturally fermented probiotic drink, with an option to make it lightly fizzy
- Enjoy a tasting of a fermented probiotic dessert, also demonstrated during the workshop
You’ll also enjoy a tasting of samples prepared in advance, and take home two jars of your own festive creations to care for and enjoy later.
Join us to celebrate the season with a little fizz and a lot of flavour!
