This Sunday October 30th 2-5pm join in on a Wild Fermentation Workshop with Rob, Liane & Andrea. Historically important before widespread refrigeration as a way to preserve abundant foods from grains and vegetables to dairy, beans, meat and fruit, fermented foods are part of the traditional diets of cultures all over the planet. Many commonly eaten foods and beverages are fermented. Fermentation provides live friendly probiotic bacteria into our diets, which hundreds of scientific studies demonstrate to be beneficial to human health. Make Kimchi, Sour Dough & Sauerkraut to take home. Learn the process for Miso, Amazake, Buttermilk, Yogurt/Lebneh & Kombucha (Take home a mother to start your own tea at home). Tastings of Miso, Dosa/Idli, Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Kombucha and other fermented products. Suggested Donation $35-40. Please bring 2-3 quart size water tight containers – glass is recommended. Space limited to 15 students. Reserve a space by emailing carrborog...@gmail.com
Sunday November 20th 2-5pm join us for a Cheese Making Workshop with Laurel Shulman (formerly of Hillsborough Cheese Co.). Learn the general process of cheese making which can be applied to making any cheese and the history of traditional methods in relation to culture and environment. We’ll be making farmer’s cheese and paneer, and stretching mozzarella. Take these skills home to try with family and friends. Making your own cheese is a great way to cut down on packaging, ensure freshness and have fun; We’ll also cover some local sources for milk (goat & cow) and for cultures. Suggested donation: $35-40. Space is limited to 15 people. Reserve your space by emailing carrborog...@gmail.com
