Join us at the wonderful One Garden and learn how to make your own kimchi and sauerkraut, kombucha , kefir and vegan cheeses and discover the world of fermentation- one of the oldest preservation techniques.

Making your own fermented foods is one of the best and simplest things you can do to improve your health – and it’s less expensive and complicated than you might think! And it is so much fun.

The morning will be a mixture of demonstration and hands on cooking in small groups, with lots of tips, talking and tasting. You will get to have a go at making kimchi and sauerkraut or a jar of seasonal fermented vegetables from a choice of locally grown seasonal produce and spices as well as get a chance to try some flavoured kombuchas, kefirs and vegan cheeses.

You will go home with a few jars of your own unique ferments plus your own starters ( scoby and grains) and plenty inspiration as well as recipes to keep experimenting with the fermented food and drinks in your own kitchen .

The session is suitable for those following vegan and gluten free diet . If you have any special dietary requirement or allergies please get in touch.

This workshop is a fundraiser for a community project providing bikes and maintenance sessions for refugees and asylum seekers who need to commute a long way to college and other support services every day. Loads of vulnerable adults are housed in hotels on the outskirts of town and being able to cycle in saves them loads of time and energy. Similarly owning a bike gives those people a sense of ownership and freedom while the exercise aspect of cycling has a positive impact on their physical and mental wellbeing.
