You’ll learn a basic tried and true sauerkraut recipe, technique and troubleshooting. Then we'll add various vegetable shapes and designs along the sides for a beautiful presentation - these make excellent gifts. Local delicious cabbage makes ferments that last for months, and maintains flavor and nutrient content. You'll learn about the marvelous microorganisms that surround us, give us “terroir” and keep us healthy by replenishing our microbiomes. This hybrid class will include both microbiology and ferment creation. Instructor Emma Holder, Masters in Micro/Immuno, McGill University.
