A demonstration masterclass with tips and tasting
Join us for a fermentation masterclass where Josephine will guide us through the essentials of fermentation, demystify what’s happening in the jar, and show us how to confidently bring these techniques into our own kitchens.
At a gentle pace, you will allow your palate to become a tool for connecting with the invisible world of fermented foods. You’ll experience fermentation with all your senses: the crunch of fresh vegetables, the shifting scent of brine, the subtle changes in colour and texture, and the deep, complex flavours that only time and microbes can create.
