I am beyond excited to officially announce that I will be teaching a fermented foods workshop this month at The Kings Roost in Silverlake! I’ve been making fermented foods at home for over two years and it has truly changed my life. Including fermented foods into my diet has drastically improved my skin, GI system, and immune system and they can improve yours too! I have been wanting to create a space to share my knowledge and passion for fermented foods with you for so long and the time is finally here! My first Fermentation Goddess is happening on Saturday August 26th from 1-3 in Silverlake Los Angeles and you can register here
In addition to the knowledge, ferments to take home, and supportive community of fermentation friends, those who attend will get an epic swag bag with treats from brands like Imperfect Produce, Four Sigmatic, Health-ade, Primal Kitchen, and more! I can’t wait to see you there!
Until then I have a double recipe feature to keep you busy! If you get intimidated by the bacterial starter ingredient in the first recipe, fermentation habanero hot sauce, come to my workshop and get the original True Spoon starter! I hope you enjoy these recipes and have a great August!
