Your fermented foods, ready to takeaway
We are thrilled to welcome experienced chef and master of ferments George Upshall (@nurturedandwild) to our cosy barn this Spring for an evening of fermenting!
Fermenting seasonal, sustainably grown produce from nature’s larder is a fantastic way to “keep it local” and enhance our nutrition all year round. It not only preserves food, but also enhances flavour and nutrient content. In this workshop, George will guide you through how to produce a seasonal series of ferments as he combines his culinary know-how with a passion for foraging and wild foods.
During this workshop, you’ll not only discover how to ferment in the comfort of your own home, but also find new ways of combining these ancient foods into your everyday meals.
During the evening, you’ll get the chance to sample ingredients that have already begun their fermentation journey, as well as starting new ferments to take home with you. At the end of the evening, you’ll leave with a selection of ferments along with the knowledge and confidence to get truly creative on the fermentation front – in the comfort of your home!
We kindly ask guests to bring 3-4 glass jars and a carrier bag to carry them home in, as this helps us to keep the cost of the course down and encourages the re-use of old jars.
Our menus are best suited for flexible, adventurous eaters with a strong focus on seasonally and locally inspired ingredients, including wild and foraged foods sourced from nature’s larder.
