Fermenting for Dan

Do you want to learn how to naturally ferment or culture your own food, but have no idea where to begin?

Owner and Head Chef of Apothecary Kitchen, Ben Armstrong and leading Naturopath from Mullen Health, Peter Mullen have come together to show you how to create beautiful, health-boosting fermented foods and share the benefits of fermented foods on your gut health. The pair are fermenting to raise money for the family of Apothecary Kitchen’s previous Head Chef, Dan, who has been diagnosed with cancer.

This hands-on demonstration will give you the skills and tools you need to ferment some of our favourite recipes at home, including:

• Sauerkraut wonderslaw salad
• Kombucha
• Live probiotic yoghurt muesli

Tickets are limited and are just $70/person, with all proceeds donated to help Dan and his family.

When: 7pm, Tuesday 25 July 2017

Where: Charlestown Multi Purpose Centre, 17 James St, Charlestown

Over the 21 days that it takes to make fermented vegetables, you will receive 3 home visits to inspect and discuss your ferment as well as delivery of fresh healthy food from Apothecary Kitchen each visit. On the final visit, we will go through the long term storage of your sauerkraut as well as help you put down a fresh batch for you to tend yourself.
