Saskia Frederiks is specialist in fermentation. She discovered water kefir once during an outdoor movie event in Vijfhuizen. Since that evening she's fascinated by all kinds of fermentation processes. Either started by yeast, bacteria or fungi. The changes in scent, color, taste and texture never seem to lose their magic for her. For Saskia there's no day without fermentation. She likes to inspire others with her fascination and knowledge about fermentation.
Saskia is also a freelancer in Online Communication. She has been active for Slow Food for years to contribute to a fair food system. She continues doing so through Haarlem Food Future now.
