Gut health is a keen topic these days and according to ZOE research: “Fermented foods can benefit your health in a variety of ways, such as improving digestion and lowering your risk for certain diseases, like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Crucially, they promote a healthier and more diverse gut microbiome, the collection of microorganisms living in your gut.”
Join Amy Rankine, an expert forager and wild food specialist, for a hands-on fermentation workshop. In this session, you will learn the fundamentals of lacto-fermentation and create your own kraut-based ferment to take home. Book your place here.

We will explore various techniques, including using a salt brine, a salt-vinegar brine, and extracting water from vegetables through salting. By tasting different samples, we will discuss which method is best for various vegetables and the unique flavours each technique produces.
Incorporating foraging, we will identify different wild plants that can be preserved through fermentation and how to pair them with organic vegetables. Using cabbage as the base, you will craft your own kraut, experimenting with different vegetables and wild flavours.
Join us for an enriching experience that combines traditional fermentation methods with the bounty of nature.
