About this Event
Welcome to Fermentation 101: CultureBox at Plant Chicago!
Fermentation is a technique that has been used in every civilization from its outset and the ability to work with your environment to make delicious preserves is as important today as it was then. From shelf-life, digestibility, to flavor development fermentation is a useful tool in any kitchen. We will discuss the history, cultural connections, and science of lacto-fermentation before we practice with our own veggies. After producing our own lacto-ferments to take home we will discuss other types of fermentation as well as the social and symbolic impact of the practice.
About Sam: I’ve been working in and around food and foodservice for over a decade. Between farming, butchery, cheffing, and food writing I have been looking at the American food system from every angle I can manage. I’ve been fermenting for the past 6 years, and have built a business over the last 4 that produces unique, seasonal ferments.
