The Ferment Kitchen

Last week I made kimchi and this week I'm eating it on EVERYTHING! Each time I taste it and see it in my fridge I have a deep desire to share it's simplicity with you all!

All this on top of being probiotic - nourishing and nurturing your gut health.

Hello everyone,

In the last few days, I have been reflecting and have decided to take a pause on The Ferment Kitchen's online presence.

I want to focus my energy on my family and our property - the garden and animals especially.
So for now, no more posts or website. I will continue with in person workshops though - because I love teaching and sharing!

I am so incredibly grateful for your support over the last four years.
I have always felt so encouraged and appreciated by this beautiful community.
The Ferment Kitchen has allowed me to travel, teach and learn so so much. I have absolutely loved meeting hundreds of Kiwis and sharing starter bugs and ancient knowledge. But the social media and marketing is tiresome for me and I don't enjoy it at all and am so looking forward to freeing up my mind space without it!

If you have any fermenting questions - contact me for sure!

Lots of love, Geraldine
