    Description

    Sauerkraut is incredibly nutritious and healthy. It provides probiotics. Lots of vitamin C and vitamin K2, which are known for their health benefits, and many other nutrients. Eating sauerkraut may help strengthen your immune system and improve your digestion. The regular consumption of small quantities of fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, is believed to reduce your risk of certain diseases, and even lose weight. 

    So if you'd like to become proficient at making this healthful fermented food at home, join us to learn how. It can be simply made using equipment you already have at home - all you need is a knife, a bowl and a jar.

    This is a hands-on course for making Sauerkraut where you will make your own jar and take it home with you.

    Testimonials

    February 2021:

    "Instructor who really knew what she was talking about and made it interesting. Exceeded our expectations. Helen was great. Excellent notes. Interesting Fermentation info and history. Very clear communicator. Course length was perfect. Three jars of Sauerkraut bubbling away in the pantry as I type." C & E

    "A very enjoyable class. It’s a how-to but also covers some of the basic science and nutrition principles in an interesting and accessible way. It teaches you the basics from scratch but also gives you the knowledge and confidence to experiment and develop your skills over time." Luke 

    "Enjoyed the relaxed nature. Good bunch of people and lovely instructor. Really enjoyed learning about gut health and the benefits of fermented foods." S

    "I enjoyed everything about this class.  The interaction with others attending, Helen's expertise and the knowledge gained.  The hands on experience was really helpful. Helen's friendly and professional instruction was a pleasure and told me just what I needed to know.  This was a one off class. Length was just right. I would certainly recommend any future class Helen may do. She was a pleasure to listen to and I learned a lot. Extremely enjoyable experience! Thank you Helen.'
