Step into the ferment lab and begin your flavour journey!
We love exploring the provenance of our food. At our new 3hr "Ferment Your Own Foods", explore food science: the theories behind fermentation such as culturing anaerobic bacteria, controlling temperature, and working with carbonation. Tickle your tastebuds with a tasting session of our available ferments. And go deeper by hand-making your own ferments from fresh produce! You'll get to explore making your own ferments from our range of ferments such as kimchi, kombucha, miso, shoya, kefir. (Based on which ones are available on the day, we will choose any two. Why fermented food? Fermentation has been used for thousands of years by humans, primarily to extend the life of food back when there were no such things as fridges. It is also used to modify food to make new ones - Did you know there will be no chocolate or coffee without fermentation? Fast forward to today, and you can find kombucha on tap in bars, sourdough in cafes and a buffet of sauerkraut, yoghurt, and kimchi in your local supermarket. But did you know you can also easily make them in your own home, just like our ancestors did!Fermented foods are gaining popularity as a provider of “good” bacteria that contributes to a healthy gut. During fermentation, microorganisms like bacteria, yeast or fungi convert simple sugars and starch into alcohol or acids. Besides being natural preservatives, they leave a distinctive strong, salty, or sour taste. Fermentation makes certain foods easier to digest (e.g. milk), and also easier for your body to absorb vitamins and minerals, like iron and zinc.What to ExpectExplore making your own ferments from our range of ferments such as kimchi, kombucha, miso, shoya, kefir.
