Taught by Erick Clasen and Bonnie Pecka
The workshop will be held on Monday, March 14th, 2016 from 6:00-8:00 PM at the First Congregational Church, 30 Main Street Binghamton, New York.
Class will be held downstairs in the church kitchen.
Sourdough bread and beet kvass will be the stars of this workshop. There will be samples of both sourdough bread and beet kvass to taste. Additionally, there will be samples of fermented foods such as kimchi, hot pepper sauce and garlic dill pickles. These samples are all made by traditional fermentation methods. Samples of beverages such as kombucha and water kefir will be available as well.
Sourdough Bread
Homemade Sourdough Bread
Sourdough bread is healthy because the fermentation process breaks down a lot of the anti-nutrients in the grains. It is also self-preserving. It may get hard with age but will rarely get moldy. It’s amazing how fermentation can be used to naturally preserve food instead of using harmful chemicals. Sourdough bread is easier to make than you would think. Why not give it a shot?
Beet Kvass
Homemade Beet Kvass
Beet kvass is a fermented tonic and a snap to make. It’s a delicious choice to incorporate into your health and wellness tool belt any time of the year. Because it is packed full of probiotics, vitamins and enzymes, it is not only tasty, but healthy and nourishing. In addition to beets, other things can be added to flavor (and further fortify) the beet kvass, such as ginger, garlic, citrus, etc.
Workshop attendees will participate in making their own sourdough starter and beet kvass fermentations to take home.
