Scientifically known as zymology, fermentation is the conversion of carbohydrates into alcohols, carbon dioxide, yeast, or bacteria. Beer, miso, sourdough, kefir, kimchi and many other delicious foods we love are the product of fermentation.
We’ll teach you how to make it yourself and get you on the fermentation bandwagon! If you are interested in Old World food preservation, gut health, or fermentation in general, this is the class for you!

She has been a contributing writer for Edible Magazine as well as a contributor to the book "Miso, Tempeh, Natto" and is currently working on her first book on fermentation due sometime in the near-not so near future.
