This workshop gives a solid theoretical base and some valuable practical guidelines in how to ferment, in addition, by then undergoing a classical fermented vegetable recipe, we let all of this new knowledge sink in. By connecting theory with practice, this fermentation workshop is an educative, yet fun way to let yourself be “infected” by the fermentation bacteria.
