The Light Cellar presents...
Friendly Ferments – A Festival of Fermentation and Culture
featuring Sandor Ellix Katz (author of Wild Fermentation & The Art of Fermentation)
Join us in creating culture between people, bacteria, and yeast, as we bring together Calgary’s ‘culture’ of Fermentation Ambassadors (this is where I fit in) and our featured guest speaker.
Sandor Ellix Katz of www.wildfermentation.com is the most recognized and leading voice on fermentation.
“Sandor Katz has already awakened more people to the diversity and deliciousness of fermented foods than any other single person has over the last century. Once you look at the world through the fresh eyes of such a genius, there is no going back to the tasteless world you had previously occupied.”
– Gary Paul Nabhan, author of Renewing America’s Food Traditions and Desert Terroir
“Sandor Katz has proven himself to be the king of fermentation”
– Sally Fallon Morell, President, The Weston A. Price Foundation
Why a Festival?
Because we need to celebrate, especially around food and that which gives us life as we enrich our ability to engage our hearts and hands in ancient arts of crafting nourishing foods for ourselves!
This event is an opportunity for you to enter into the wonderful, uplifting and health-enhancing world of bacteria and microbes – the probiotics, what we call the Friendly Ferments.
