Fermentation is an ancient culinary art praised for its environmental and health benefits, as well as the robust flavors that it yields. In this class, students make four jarred ferments (to take home) then apply the same ferments (created for in-class use) to make dishes they can replicate in their own kitchens. These dishes are Fermented Taqueria Vegetable Nachos; Fermented Pineapple Red Pepper Salsa; Fermented Tomatillo Serrano Goddess Dressing; and Fermented Mango Hibiscus Punch. Through theory and hands-on practice, students will discover fermentation flavor profiles and learn fermentation techniques and safety protocols. (Note: This class is vegan & gluten free.)
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
