That was the title of the workshop I offerred at a festival in Guelph, ON, on the last weekend of July.
I gotta say - I love yeast and bacteria...and as one workshop participant mentioned "your passion for yeast and bacteria is infectious!" hmmm good thing it is a beneficial bacteria considering it's infectious...
Kefir and Kombucha are two of my favourite foods. I love how good they make my stomach feel, I love the taste, I love the way such a simple form of life can turn a food so quickly into something completely different!
So below, I've shared the how of fermenting Kefir and Kombucha with you. If you are interested in getting fermenting for the health of your digestive system, for the delicious zingy taste, to create alternative barter economies (the yeast and bacteria re-produce-you can have oodles of fun trading it with other folks who wish to start fermenting!), or just for the fun of it, check out the little zine that I crafted up as a handout at the workshop.
Oh - and let me know if you need some Kefir Grains to get started or a SCOBY for Kombucha - I will happily trade with you.
Happy Fermenting!
