I love to learn almost as much as I love to teach (and I ❤️ to teach!) so you can imagine how much I was looking forward to visiting Daphne Lambert to learn more about fermented foods.
What a fantastic day! Seasonal foods, turned into gut friendly and utterly delicious dishes in a small group - fabulous! Daphne, thank you so much for passing on some of your fermenting wisdom and for being such a great teacher. I loved it and have come back full of ideas and a renewed enthusiasm for playing around with fermented food.
The photos show some of the delicious food we created, in order:
1. Garlic, ginger and chillis for the kimchi
2. Kimchi
3. Sourdough bread
4. Beet kavass- so delicious and so simple to make!
5. Sauerkraut tasters…also delicious!
6. Dosa made from rice and lentils fermented overnight, labneh and fermented wild garlic leaves.
From an Ayurvedic perspective maintaining our digestive fire is always so important, not burning too hot or cooling down too much. Fermented foods, with their prebiotic and probiotic properties, help our gut microbiota flourish and as we are increasingly aware, a diverse gut microbiota is a healthy gut microbiota.
If you would also like to take a look at Daphne’s courses go to her Instagram or her website www.greencuisinetrust.org for more information. Happy fermenting!
