Renowned author Olia Hercules will talk about traditional fermentation practices that take place in special traditional kitchen spaces called "summer kitchens." She will talk through a number of regional pickles from fermented tomato sauce to apples pickled in pumpkin puree and whole watermelons fermented in wooden barrels. She will discuss the pickles’ traditional uses in cooking as well as modern interpretations.
This talk is in partnership with Quail Ridge Bookstore, and attendees will have the opportunity to purchase Hercules' book Summer Kitchens before and after her talk.
