Please join us this Tuesday, March 9th for WILD FERMENTATION
Meet the author Sandor Katz
Sandor Ellix Katz (aka Sandorkraut), the author of Wild Fermentation and The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved, is a cultural revivalist committed to the spread of fermentation fervor.
Microscopic organisms – our ancestors and allies – transform food and extend its usefulness. Fermentation is found throughout human cultures.
Hundreds of medical and scientific studies confirm what folklore has always known: Fermented foods help people stay healthy.
Many of your favorite foods and drinks are probably fermented. For instance: Bread, Cheese, Wine, Beer, Mead, Cider, Chocolate, Coffee, Tea, Pickles, Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Miso, Tempeh, Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Yogurt, Kefir, Kombucha.

Anyone who has met Izzi Jackson-Cameron, our neighbor from down the street at Jackson Pianos, knows her effervescent enthusiasm emits a magnetic field far larger than her five-year old frame.
