The Art of Fermentation

Come learn how simple it is to make your own kimchi, kefir, and other 
fermented delicacies. Learn about 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!

Sandor Katz's latest book, The Art of Fermentation, is already being 
billed as a New York Times bestseller. And our Sept 19 event will be Mr 
Katz's only Southern Calfornia appearance on this autumn's tour.

It promises to be a packed event: Mr Katz will speak a bit about 
fermentation, then lead a hands-on workshop where we will each make a 
jar of lacto-fermented vegetables (precise recipe to be determined by Mr 
Katz). Bring your own cutting board, chef's knife, grater if you have 
one. If you have organic carrots, cabbages, onions, garlic, bring 'em 
along. We will supply mason jars, salt and some vegetables.

Live Culture foods
Throughout human history people have preserved food in many ways, 
including live-culture fermentation. Think of great-grandma's stories 
about the barrel of pickles in the corner store. These were live-culture 
foods, with the distinctive flavors and nutrition resulting from the 
transformative power of microscopic bacteria and fungi. In the same way 
that today's health magazines sing the praises of yogurt, these 
live-culture foods help our bodies and our immune systems.

Amazingly enough, "catsup" and "sauerkraut" used to be alive foods too. 
Today the bottled substances you get in the supermarket are pasturized 
and deadened. By doing your own home fermentation, you can restore 
healthful nutrition to your family diet.

Live culture foods first came to my attention through Sally Fallon in 
her book Nourishing Traditions. Many ethnic cultures still have 
preservation traditions that include live culture foods. And our guest, 
Sandor Katz, is the recognized leader in bringing them back to popularity!

Sandor Katz
Sandor Ellix Katz is a self-taught fermentation experimentalist. He 
wrote Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of 
Live-Culture Foods—which Newsweek called "the fermenting bible"—in order 
to share the fermentation wisdom he had learned, and demystify home 
fermentation. Since the book's publication in 2003, Katz has taught 
hundreds of fermentation workshops across North America and beyond, 
taking on a role he describes as a "fermentation revivalist." Now, in 
The Art of Fermentation, with a decade more experience behind him, the 
unique opportunity to hear countless stories about fermentation 
practices, and answering thousands of troubleshooting questions, he's 
sharing a more in-depth exploration of the topic.
