Join us for an intimate evening to discuss all things fermented with none other than the fermentation revivalist himself, Sandor Ellix Katz. A self-taught experimentalist who lives in rural Tennessee, the New York Times calls him “one of the unlikely rock stars of the American food scene.” His books Wild Fermentation (2003, 2016) and the Art of Fermentation (2012), along with the hundreds of fermentation workshops he has taught around the world, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts. Sandor is the recipient of a James Beard award and many other honors.
Learn from the expert how simple it is to make your own kraut, kimchi and other fermented delicacies. Sandor will discuss the healing qualities and nutritional importance of live-culture ferments, as well as their illustrious history and integral role in human cultural evolution. Empower yourself with simple techniques for fermenting these healthful foods in your home. Be part of the fermentation revival!
Tickets include a glass of your favorite fermented beverage (beer, wine, kombucha) and a GYST Board.
