Fermentation Course at Philleigh Way
22 July & 23 September
Learn all about teh wonders and benefits of Fermentation at Philleigh Way Cookery School
Pickles might not be the first examples that jump to mind when you think of health foods.
But a growing body of research shows that a diet that includes a regular intake of fermented foods can bring benefits.
Fermented foods are preserved using an age-old process that not only boosts the food’s shelf life and nutritional value but can give your body a dose of healthful probiotics — live micro-organisms crucial to good digestion.
We are pleased to introduce Caitlin, owner of Delea Fermented Foods.
In a bid to introduce more people to the wonders of living foods like kimchi and kombucha, to encourage better gut health she created Delea Fermented Foods.
Through research into the gut microbiome and the profound effects it can have on our body’s ecosystem. Caitlin saw first-hand the positive ways in which good food including fermented foods, can transform lives and even alleviate chronic illnesses.
During the day course, Caitlin will take you through the process, science and how simple it is to introduce these wonderful foods into your everyday life. Curious about fermentation? Then sign up now.
