Learn a range of fermenting techniques and recipes for you to try at home. With host, grower and fermenter Peter Prescott.
Whether you’re a Kimchi fan or simply love nothing better than snaffling Kraut straight from the jar, then this is the workshop for you.
Peter will demonstrate the art of fermenting along with the history and health benefits of this ancient preservation technique.
You’ll sample some of the classic and more creative flavour combinations and experience two ferment recipes made from scratch. You’ll also be taking home a jar of Cultjar ferment and all the skills to try it at home for yourself.
Recipes and tastings will include:
Curtido; Red Cabbage, Beetroot & Garam Masala Ferment; Spiced Cauliflower Ferment; Kohlrabi Kimchi Ferment; Celeriac, Capers, Mustard & Tarragon Ferment; Somerset Mushroom – Sott’Olio; Fennel, Orange and Chillie Pickle; Ginger Carrots Pickle
While our fresh produce is mainly from Somerset, our recipes and food preservation techniques are a mixture of traditional and ancient methods, combined with some more contemporary and international approaches. Our range includes about 15 different ferments (our favourite preservation method!) and we've also included some Japanese, American and Nordic style pickles. The ferments include a cultured Salvadoran slaw, a Thai curry, a few different krauts and a brine ferment. And, we make three different types of Korean-style kimchi. We’re also making a quick pickle recipe synonymous with the Riviera and use an Italian method of preserving wild mushrooms in olive oil. We’re not striving to exactly copy the original versions of these recipes, instead, we’re focusing on our own authenticity and creating something delicious.
Since early 2020, we’ve been developing lots of different recipes and collaborating with fermentation experts and food production specialists. In the future, we’ll be introducing new recipes that will be developed in partnership with high-profile chefs.
