This season they’ll be hosting Sunday classes and they start this coming Sunday, September 22nd! 12pm. Salsas! is the  first class, and they’ll be doing three recipes; a lovely fresh salsa roja from one of Good Girl Zoe’s collection, and a fermented salsa as well as a tomatillo salsa verde, and yes, recipes will be given out for participants to take home at the end of class, as well as being posted online.

Fermentation is one of our focuses this year in the preservation classes (as well as a few other methods that we’ll trot out in later sessions). Fermentation is a naturally occurring process, we’ve all encountered it accidentally at some point, when a fruit juice has been left for too long unrefrigerated for instance.

However, fermentation is also one of the oldest methods people have used to preserve a wide variety of food stuffs, and archaeological digs have revealed amazing things such as remnants of thousands of years old wine and mead from many many countries. Humans have used this natural process to create breads, beer, wine and much more.

Make sure to check out  other upcoming workshops including pickled beets, carrots and apple butter. Sign your self up and get preserving!
