Fermenting Workshop with Esther

  • Miramar and Maupuia Community Centre 27 Chelsea St 6022 New Zealand (map)

Join Esther Lewis from Esther's Ferments to learn fermenting skills. Together, we will ferment some radish for our Seeds to Feeds Feast in February and make a cabbage & carrot kraut for you to take home.

This is a community workshop, so if you can, pitching in to help this run would be great: Please help us by bringing a knife, chopping board, bowl and large jars (1-3L) if you have spare. If you have any cabbage, carrot, radish (especially if it's from your garden) please bring that along too. If you have a favourite spice or herb you'd like to work with, bring that along too. If you cannot bring all or any of the above - don't stress, we will have plenty of spares to cover you.

About Esther's:
”At Esther’s kitchen based in Miramar, we endorse the joyful eating of healthy creative food, to support well-being with fermented foods bursting with live cultures, inspire people to explore flavours and to enjoy good food with one another.

Our sauerkraut and fermented pickles are naturally cultured in
small batches with natural NZ sea salt and locally grown produce. We produce our vinegar pickles, marmalades and jams the wholesome old fashioned way with no synthetic preservatives or additives, just how Gran used to make.

Our crescent moon symbolises the natural cycle of time. Time for flavours to develop, for vinegars to permeate and preserve, time for the life cycles of fermentation to develop the most delicious and complex flavours. Time well spent to create good food for the
people, because sharing with loved ones is a timeless joy.”

Informal, accessible & all welcome! Koha appreciated.
