FERMENTATION WORKSHOP AND DINNER

If pickling is the fastest way to preserve a vegetable, fermentation is the slow way. More people are becoming interested in preservation through fermentation because of the purported health benefits. Sauerkraut, kimchi and kefir are all examples of fermented foods.

Author and food anthropologist Sandor Katz, an expert in fermentation and its benefits, will be at Frinklepod Farm in Arundel Sept. 14 for two events. (Watch for an interview with Katz in the Sept. 18 Food & Dining section.)

At 3 p.m. Sept. 14, Katz will lead a fermentation workshop that will include a lecture, demonstrations and some Q&A time. The cost is a sliding scale from $10 to $40. Pre-registration is required. For more information, go to brownpapertickets.com/event/427726.

At 6 p.m., after the workshop, chefs from Local Sprouts Cooperative, Agro Mycro and Resilient Roots will be preparing a multi-course dinner of fermented foods. The dinner will include sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented salsas, cured meats, tempeh, wild mushrooms, fermented desserts and fermented beverages. The dinner will be held outdoors and is BYOB. The cost is $30 per person. Register at brownpapertickets.com/event/450828.

Frinklepod Farm is located at 244 Log Cabin Road. Call 289-2805.
