This is a full-day immersive and hands-on experience we are now offering at Esholt Village Hall in Esholt, in the Aire Valley (near Guiseley, Leeds) where you will learn how to practice the craft of making fermented foods, whilst also becoming more knowledgeable about gut-friendly nutrition and gut health mindful living.
These days are perfect for anyone interested in learning about sourdough basics, fermented foods and connecting with people & nature. We are excited to support and inspire you on your gut health journey, even if you are a complete fermentation novice!
On the day:
- Introduction to sourdough starter & flatbread making
- Sauerkraut making
- A light lunch of vegetarian authentic tacos
- Optional 30-minute nature walk
- Fermented fiery tomato making
You will receive your own sourdough starter and we will teach you how to feed & nurture it whilst learning about the sourdough process. We will then make sourdough flatbreads that you can stuff and bake at the end of the day.
You will also learn the art of the dry salting fermentation process - through making both a sauerkraut and fiery fermented tomato dish.
A light lunch of authentic vegetarian tacos will give you the opportunity to sample different fermented pickles (including those you make) – all part of the learning experience.
Lunch is followed by an optional 30-minute nature walk through the tranquil Memorial Hall Gardens, in the charming village of Esholt (the former filming location of Emmerdale). Learn why walking with trees is more than just a peaceful escape… we will talk about why connecting ourself more to nature is also good for our microbiome thus complimenting a gut health lifestyle.
What do you need to bring?
Suitable outdoor footwear for walking on rough terrain and a raincoat.
What is supplied?
An apron, all ingredients and lunch are provided. You will also get a sourdough starter and pickling jars to take away your fermented food.
