workshop:

Pickles: Co-design with Microbes - Summer Edition

with Saskia Frederiks

16 Aug 2020

Boring summer? Not at all. We take the holidays to make up for all the events that were cancelled due to Covid-19. August is summer workshop month at Mediamatic.

Pickling vegetables is one of the oldest fermentation practices around. It is a rich source of antioxidants and is known for its sour and salty taste. During this workshop, you will learn to apply the same technique used with Sauerkraut to different vegetables and to design fermented delights. You will take home a jar of pickled vegetables ready to cure at home.

What you will do

During the workshop you will learn the basic principles of fermentation. Saskia Frederiks will explain the history of pickling, different recipes and how to pickle a batch of vegetables. You will conserve your own batch of vegetables in a glass jar using the lactic acid fermentation method. After the workshop, you will be able to continue the practice of designing flavours at home.
