Fermentation

Author in Sitka

Sandor Katz, author of ‘‘Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods,’’ will lead a workshop 5:30-8 p.m. July 9 at the Sitka Kitch community rental kitchen.

Katz is a nationally recognized food writer and fermentation guru. He will be traveling to Sitka, Juneau, Haines, and Gustavus to offer community education and workshops about the fermentation of vegetables.

The class costs $15 per student, and is sponsored by SEARHC, with hopes of making community food education accessible to all. There is no food/supply fee for this class.

‘‘Join this hands-on fermentation workshop with a true fermentation expert to learn how to ferment vegetables at home easily and safely to create a delicious, nutrient-packed superfood,’’ organizers said.

The workshop will include: a discussion of “what is fermentation?”; why fermentation is practiced worldwide; the many practical benefits of fermentation; functional concepts about fermentation; instruction on how to make sauerkraut with a variety of vegetables; information about what to do with sauerkraut at home and how long to store it; and troubleshooting any problems with home fermentation

Students will leave with their own jar of kraut, plus knowledge on safe home fermentation practices.

Participants should take a chef’s knife and vegetable grater if possible. Some knives and graters will be provided. Class space is limited. The registration deadline is 11 p.m. July 7.
