Wild Foods & Fermentation Workshop with Sandor Ellix Katz and Frank Cook
Come participate in a cultural revolution! Wild fermentation is a way
of incorporating the wild into your body, becoming one with the
natural world. Wild foods possess a great, unmediated life force which
can help us adapt to shifting conditions and lower our susceptibility
to disease. Microorganisms are everywhere, and the techniques for
fermenting with them are simple and flexible. In this workshop, we
will spend time walking outdoors, getting to know some local plants
and harvesting edibles and medicinals, and together we will make
kimchi, idli, kefir, herbal elixir meads, and much more.
Sandor Ellix Katz, also known as Sandorkraut, is the
author of Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of
Live-Culture Foods (Chelsea Green, 2003). He is also an herbalist, an
activist, a builder, and a craftsperson. He travels widely spreading
fermentation fervor by demystifying fermentation processes and
encouraging people to embrace our bacterial allies. His new book The
RevolutionWill Not Be Mirowaved: Inside America's Underground Food
Movements came out last October. Check out Sandor's website at

Frank Cook has studied with herbalists, shamen, doctors, professors,
and medicine men around the world, who have initiated him into many
ways of walking with plants. He leads a simple life communicating,
teaching, reflecting, and delving deeper into the mysteries of the
plant kingdom and our place in the web of life. For more information
