Fermentation
- Kitchen Chemistry!
At
the Laconia Public Library
Fermentation is an age-old method of preserving
all sorts of foods, from milk to veggies to
fruit and more! Come to this presentation and
learn about how to make interesting beverages and
foods such as kombucha, kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut,
kimchi, vinegars, pickles, and much more. The
emphasis will be on lacto-fermentation, which
takes advantage of natural yeasts and molds to
create the fermentation process. If you are a
fermenter yourself, come prepared to share your
ideas and tips. Our presenter is Karen Barker, who
has been experimenting with kitchen chemistry for
years, since she got her Salton yogurt maker back
in the 70s! Karen says, "With a chemistry teacher
for my mother, my love of food, and my interest in
home food preservation, it was inevitable that
fermentation would find its’ way into my life!"
Samples of most products will be available for
tasting (except for wine!)
