About this Event

Join author and CEO of the Fermenters Guild, Robin Sherriff, on Friday 7th November, at 7pm, as he dives into the complex microbiology and chemistry behind essential ferments, revealing the invisible ecosystems that shape flavour, preserve food, and enrich our diets, with his new book The Science of Fermentation.

Enter a marvellous microbial world and explore the fascinating science of fermented foods.

Every culture has a long history of fermentation – from kimchi to beer, kombucha to kefir, and sourdough to soy sauce – but rarely do we contemplate the complex science behind these everyday treats.

Learn how fermented food and drinks have changed our palates and health forever, explore scientific processes behind your favourite pickles, and discover how to recreate them in your own kitchen.

Tickets are £3 and there is a Ticket & Book option which includes a signed copy of The Science of Fermentation by Robin Sherriff.
