The workshops that I run from home are very small-scale comprising of maximum of 4 people, so you get a good opportunity to ask plenty of questions and discuss fermentation process in great detail. If you have a group of people interested in learning practical fermentation and a kitchen big enough to fit them all or you are organising an event and need someone to lead a fermentation workshop for you, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help.Obituary printed in The Athol Daily News:įrances M. My strong desire is to spread knowledge about the unique health properties of fermented foods, encourage and help other people to take control over their own health as part of the gut health awareness revolution going on in the world today. Unfortunately, people nowadays have lost the knowledge and craft of cooking their own food and especially the art of fermentation has been forgotten. I am always experimenting and trying out new recipes so there will inevitably be other additions as well. I am also in the process of developing fermented condiments and raw vinegar workshops.


I have a good experience of running various workshops on various fermented foods and drinks: an introduction to fermentation, sourdough bread made easy, fermented dairy, fermented soft drinks, kombucha and gluten-free sourdough all suitable for beginners. My mission is to spread the skill of fermentation as wide as possible.
