Happy Girl Kitchen - Fermentation Workshop

We had a great time today going to a 'Fermentation Workshop' given by Happy Girl Kitchens. This was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, and we learned how to make sauerkraut, kimchee and kombucha from our favorite source.

The workshop was given in Oakland in a beautiful old Victorian house.

It was a fun group and they fed us a yummy meal - featuring sauerkraut and kimchee. I'm still on the fence about kombucha, but Wikipedia says there is scientific evidence that drinking it might make your liver more efficient. I'm wondering if maybe the kombucha is just introducing more toxins into your system which could skew the results. Do you know any 100 year+ folks that regularly drink kombucha? I'll try it, but I'm still taking my vitamins.

Here are some pics from the workshop.






We brought home our jars of kimchee & sauerkraut to ferment. The house smells like kimchee, but it will be tasty!
