Who’s this Fermentation 101 course for?

For curious homecooks

You’ve heard about Fermentation. But, it’s not completely clear to you you how it works. Or, you may want to get into to it, but have no idea where to start. Maybe you heard stories about risks. Then, this course is for you. It’s not focused on one technique in particular, but it gives you a great introduction to what Fermentation actually is, what the huge benefits are, how it works, while also focusing on the possible pitfalls or dangers. After this course, you’ll confidently take your next steps in your Fermentation journey, whether it’s making kombucha, pickles, miso or.. whatever.

For health enthusiasts

The health benefits of eating Fermented foods are numerous. Fermenting your own Vegetables will increase their nutritional content, improve digestion, and support your immune system. Many Fermented products are rich in probiotics, which can help support a healthy gut. But, there’s also a lot of ‘woo’ about Fermentation, unsubstantiated claim. In this course we will cover what we actually know about the health benefits of Fermentation.

For chefs

Fermentation has been one of the most stable trends over the last decade, giving cooks incredible opportunities for novel (plant based) dishes. Fermentation allows cooks to create unique and delicious flavors that can’t be achieved through traditional cooking methods. But, as a responsible and inquisitive chef, you want to fully understand what you’re getting into. The benefits, but also safety. This introductionary course will help you on your journey of becoming a knowledgeble, creative and responsible fermenter.

Yes and no. YouTube indeed will teach you a lot. However, in our experience as educators the content is usually quite shallow and spread out over different video’s on different accounts, making it hard to get the full picture. Sure, in a 10 minute video you can show a kimchi recipe. But after this, you’ll know just one recipe. You will not understand the concept behind it, which is essential to becoming a better, more creative and more safe Fermenter.  Furthermore we offer after care and will answer all your questions, give you a recipe ebook, and a quiz to test your new skills. Finally, we have a 30 day money back guarantee, so if you do feel it wasn’t worth it, we’ll simply refund you.
