SUMMARY:Grow\, Cook\, Care\, Share - Waste not\, want not: Get Cultured: Th
 e Art of Fermentation
DESCRIPTION:Waste not\, want not workshop series: Transforming the way you 
 think about food and the seasons.\n\nGet Cultured: The Art of Fermentation
 \n\nEvery year in the UK\, we throw away 6.6 million tonnes of household f
 ood waste - much of it perfectly good produce that simply wasn't used in t
 ime. Meanwhile\, the cost of living continues to rise\, and many of us are
  looking for practical ways to make our food budget stretch further while 
 eating well.\n\nOver a series of two hour workshops\, you'll learn time-te
 sted techniques for preserving seasonal produce - whether it's from your g
 arden\, local markets\, or those yellow-sticker bargains that represent ge
 nuine savings and rescue perfectly good food from unnecessary waste.\n\nEa
 ting seasonally isn't just about saving money or reducing waste (though it
  does both beautifully). Seasonal eating connects us to the natural rhythm
 s of the year\, often provides better nutrition and flavour\, and supports
  local growers and sustainable farming practices. When we preserve food at
  its peak\, we capture not just its taste\, but its nutritional value too.
 \n\nBy the end of each workshop\, you'll have the confidence to turn surpl
 us into treasure - transforming those "too good to waste" moments into a w
 ell-stocked cupboard that serves you year-round.\nWhat you'll bring with y
 ou\, create and take home: Get cultured: The art of fermentation\nIntroduc
 tion to fermentation with curtido\nIn this workshop we will explore the fa
 scinating process of turning fresh vegetables into something tangy\, tasty
 \, and full of life—curtido!\n\nFermentation is a natural process where 
 tiny microbes (like bacteria and yeast) help preserve food and give it new
  flavours. It’s been used for thousands of years to make bread\, yogurt\
 , pickles\, and more. We will learn how to make a simple fermented cabbage
  slaw that’s easy to prepare and fun to watch change over time.\n\nWorks
 hop details\n\nGrow\, Cook\, Share\, Care is a Hands of Hope programme eng
