Sourdough bread has been around for hundreds of years. Widely favoured amongst many due to its ability to digest easier within the body and for its tangy flavour and wholesome appearance.

Whilst the supermarkets have brought sourdough to our shelves, the amount of care and attention needed is sometimes lost in the mass production of sourdough which takes great care and most of all time.

In recent years, discoveries from leading scientific researchers have found that the state of our gut bacteria could lead to better mood, immunity and skin. During the class you will learn how to get started with fermenting at home. You’ll drink Kombucha on arrival which is packed with probiotics, fundamental in helping to balance the gut microbiome.

What you will make – please bring 3 preserving jars or pre order from us £5 each.

• Sauerkraut

Kimchi and Sauerkraut are great side dishes which can be eaten with any meal and are traditionally made by fermenting cabbage but many other vegetables can be used. Korean kimchi is hot and spicy whilst sauerkraut has a distinctive sour flavour –  the result of lactic acid formed when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage leaves.
