Fearless Fermentation

Learn the basics of making great-tasting, easy ferments!

Fermented foods are beneficial to our health, yet can be intimidating to make at home. While there is a degree of unpredictability with fermentation, once you get the hang of it, there is so much possibility with seasonal ingredients and local flavors!

Discover simple tricks and key techniques that will yield successful ferments and help you save money in the process.

Join me for a delicious culinary nutrition experience, where you’ll learn how to make a variety of delicious ferments.

All of the recipes are gluten-free, dairy-free and utterly delicious.

You will walk away from this workshop with:

• Five recipes for basic fermented foods: kombucha, pickles, vegan chevre (nut cheese), coconut kefir and sauerkraut.

• An understanding of the health benefits of fermented foods.

• A solid grasp of fermenting skills that will invite you to ferment with confidence in your own kitchen.

• Tips and bonus recipes to help you incorporate more fermented foods into your diet for health.

Fermented, probiotic-rich foods are easier to make when you have helpful recipes and culinary skills to accompany you on your health journey.

As a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), I have extensive experience in recipe development, therapeutic foods and cooking for health. I can help you learn how to incorporate fermented foods into your daily eating routines while having a blast in your kitchen.
