Event Details

Wild and Cultured: fermented beverages.

These traditional fermented beverages have been used to aid digestion and as health tonics for centuries.
They make refreshing summer drinks and can be made using garden herbs and fruits!
In this popular class, discover how to make:
Old fashioned ginger beer
• Kombucha (a fermented tea beverage) and go home with your own kombucha starter to make it at home!
Amazake (a sweet, ‘cultured’ Japanese rice beverage)
• Bring home recipes, nutrition information and a kombucha starter culture! Participants will have the chance to explore and harvest some of the wild plants growing around the UBC Farm. Impress your friends and family with your new-but-ancient skill as brew-master.

She then gained experience in top restaurants such as Jack's Grill in Edmonton, Paul Rankin's Roscoff Brasserie in Belfast, Ireland and then at Rob Feenie's Feenie's in Vancouver.

Her love of nutrition and organic whole foods and healthy lifestyle brought her to Radha Yoga and Eatery; a culinary vegetarian hot spot in Vancouver, where she started teaching healthy cooking classes and was the head chef for over 3 years. While at radha she studied at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, where she graduated as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist in 2009.
