Taught by Erick Clasen and Bonnie Pecka

The workshop will be held on November 7th 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.

The focus of this workshop will be on the basics of fermenting foods. Fermented foods are not only healthy (full of probiotics, vitamins and minerals), they are easy to make and also extremely tasty.

Sauerkraut, fermented ginger and carrots and beet kvass, a delicious drink for the fall season, will be the stars of this workshop. Sauerkraut is an old favorite that many people are familiar with and is a good starting point for trying to ferment your own foods. Fermented carrots and ginger are a zesty combination that introduces a bit of experimental flavoring into the fermentation process.

You will have the opportunity to taste these at the workshop. Besides samples of sauerkraut and carrot / ginger ferment, there will be kombucha, water kefir, and a few varieties of beet kvass.

Workshop attendees will participate in making their own sauerkraut and carrot / ginger fermentations to take home.

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.

Erick C

I am interested in the health benefits of fermentation both in beverage form and foods. Using food as a healing modality, fermented or otherwise, including herbs an spices is a topic that I am bringing to the table for Heart Centered Living. I have been created fermented beverages since the mid-1990′s and food since the mid-2000′s. I do a lot of cooking and part of it is fermented foods and beverages. They are good for health and I have posts that will share some recipes and things that I have learned along the way. I like to also combine the fermentation process with another area of interest, time lapse photography to bring fermentation to life by speeding it up visually allowing a different level of insight into the process.
