The Fermentation School

“I loved this class! I learned new ways to ferment and tried food combinations I had never considered. The videos, written instructions and community board were very helpful. I will be taking more classes here for sure.”

“This class was really fun for me. It was just challenging enough without being overwhelming. I appreciate the loose structure for busy lives. I have some basic experience with fermentation, but this class really helped me develop more courage in experimentation, and decreased my fear of cooking with ferments. I was missing out on so much flavor! I also appreciate the background information given on various ingredients and recipes. It helps to foster more of a connection with food and culture. I really looked forward to logging in every day to see what was next, and the forum was great with quick answers to questions. I would highly recommend this class to all but the most advanced. I’m really glad I took it and will look for more classes in the future! Carrie ”

“The grocery list was so helpful to prepare for projects. It was nice to have options because it was difficult to find certain items. Visiting with other classmates was so fun and added a cultural experience that made the world seems smaller and a nicer place to be. I would absolutely recommend this course to get a wide range of ideas. I have used my ferments almost daily. Taught friends and family and sent invites to join in on the fermenting fun!”

“I'm learning how to incorporate fermented foods into things I would not normally think of.”

“So far very easy and yummy ferments. I love the slow ramp up to keep us newbies from shying away! And, I always add a tablespoon of nut butter and a tablespoon of ground flax to my oatmeal- and now ferments! ”

“Loving the simple actions I can take to add healthy microbes to my diet. Really fun and easy. Thank you.”

“I love your videos. Your books are great but there's nothing like seeing things in action and there's always that little something I might have missed in the book.”

“So far the course has covered a good range of ferments. I’m disappointed that by the time you reach half way, there is limited content. Videos are very short with no demos or instruction. ”

“I have really, really enjoyed this class. Kirsten has done an excellent job providing guidance and tips and recipes and has make the Challenge both accessible, achievable, and fun! She even got me to try natto!”

“The challenge was immensely stimulating for me as an experienced fermenter, having me do things I would not have tried otherwise. It's shaken me out of my fermenting routines, widened my fermenting horizons, put me back on ferments I had done before like natto, and given me a taste of being more experimental again. If you're wondering whether to go for this challenge even though you already have a lot of experience, do go for it, it's definitely worth it. You'll discover all sorts of new things, and the Community board will allow you to ask all sorts of questions and find out stuff from other people on the challenge. Thank you, Kirsten, this was a great way to start the year in new ways! ”
