Brand New Adventures in Fermentation at foodhugs kitchen

Fermentation is having a moment that shows no sign of stopping, and for good reason. Kimchi, sourdough, kefir, miso, water kefir - the category keeps expanding and the appetite for understanding how to do it at home keeps pace. foodhugs kitchen in Glenageary has been running workshops that take the subject seriously, and this one promises to go beyond the basics.

Adventures in Fermentation covers new territory: less familiar ferments, less common techniques, the kind of content that’s interesting to someone who already knows their way around a jar of kimchi and wants to push further.

What to Expect

A Saturday morning workshop running from 11am, with hands-on practical content rather than demonstration-only. You’ll likely leave with something you made, the knowledge to make more at home, and a clearer understanding of what’s actually happening in the jar.

foodhugs kitchen is a small, specialist venue - these workshops don’t run to large numbers, which means the instruction is more personal and the pace is better. The Glenageary location is in a residential area south of Dún Laoghaire, which gives the whole thing a less commercial feel than a city-centre food event.

Good to Know

• Starts at 11am on a Saturday
• Check the Eventbrite page for what’s included in the ticket price
• Glenageary is best reached by DART or by car
• Wear something you don’t mind getting flour or brine on
• Suitable for all levels - this is pitched at curious adults rather than professional cooks
