Fermentation is on the tip of everyone's tongue. We hear all about the benefits of eating fermented foods; healthy digestion, better mood, stronger immunity, and pay lots of money for small jars of goodness. Certainly, as a nutritional therapist, I regularly recommend probiotic foods to clients to support their gut health, hormones and immune systems.

But the true secret of fermentation is that it's really simple to do at home. With a few techniques and a couple of new habits, you could be gaining all that benefit for very little money. Fancy learning how? If so, come along to my fermentation workshops and hear all about it. The next workshops are all in person at foodhugs kitchen in Glenageary, Co. Dublin and are as follows:
