Food Preservation by Fermentation!

This popular class is an introduction to the world of fermented vegetables.

Fermenting foods is an ancient method of preserving the harvest. Rich in probiotics and enzymes for improving digestion, these raw foods are re-gaining their popularity. Reclaim this skill and learn how to make sauerkraut, kimchi and brined pickles at home. We will be making:

Cucumber pickles featuring UBC Farm's own pickling cucumbers! A batch of sauerkraut together for you to take home and start fermenting right away. A demonstration of making kimchi is included. And of course a pickle tasting platter! Check out an article about Andrea’s fermentation projects here

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.

Andrea started Rooted Nutrition as her full-time project in 2010. Her cooking classes pair sound nutrition information with organic, whole foods- based, beautifully prepared recipes.
