Guest Chef
Abinger Cookery School will be closing in 2025. Courses will run until April 30th.
An exciting collaboration with Willys ACV!
Fermenting at home allows us to experiment with these interesting flavours as well as preserve waste food and boost our gut health. It’s no wonder fermentation is fast becoming a popular new hobby for food lovers.
Course Description
Fermentation is the magical process of transforming a food product into something tastier, longer lasting and better for our health. It’s no coincidence that many of our favourite foods are made using fermentation techniques. Wine, cheese, beer and bread all contain complex flavour profiles which stimulate our palates and leave us wanting more.
Lunch will be provided. Jars will be provided but you are also welcome to bring your own.
Why ferment?
- This ancient practice has allowed cultures for centuries to preserve fresh vegetables and fruits throughout the winter.
- Fermentation adds a unique tangy sourness to foods that is delicious and marries well with many other flavours.
- Keeps our gut flora healthy and varied thus aiding our digestive health. As some of the natural sugars and starches have already been broken down, fermented foods are easier to digest and also allow our bodies to absorb nutrients more easily.
- Shown to improve mood and even symptoms of anxiety and depression
- Consuming fermented foods as part of a healthy, balanced diet also appears to be associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
