World-renowned fermentation educator and author Sandor Katz leads this effervescent exploration of the production of fermented vegetable, fruit, grain, and bean food products. Students will learn processes for fermenting primarily plant-based materials: from the basic techniques of vegetable fermentation to tonic beverages, mold cultures, and fermenting legumes and grains. We will also work with dairy ferments such as yogurt and kefir. Students will connect with traditional foodways across a range of cultures and learn of the transformative, health-giving power of beneficial microbes. Students will complete the course from a distance utilizing their home kitchen and learn through a series of pre-recorded lectures and live question and answer sessions with Sandor Katz.
