In this workshop, Eleni will be taking participants through the endless possibilities of fermentation for the daily nourishment of a household, as well as a regenerative tool for farmers and chefs to maximise the potential of ingredients from root to stem, and farm to table. By acknowledging the ancient, transformative powers of fermentation, we can unleash flavour, increase nutrition, and prevent waste.
