Dated: March 12, 2010

These workshops will be FREE, though donations are much appreciated. Please register in advance if possible--call 492-3326 or sign up the next time you're in the store. Walk-ins will also be kindly welcomed. ALL WORKSHOPS ARE SUNDAY 1:00-3:00 PM.

March 7: Intro. to Vinegar-Free Pickles
Use salt to ferment and preserve vegetables. Workshop will feature a demonstration of preparing kim chi (Korean sauerkraut) and a brined vegetable, and a discussion of recipes, techniques, and principles of lacto-fermentation.

Local yellow corn cooked with dolomitic limestone will be ground wet, pressed, and cooked. We will share recipes which use tortillas.
