“The sourdough class with Yoshua was by far one of the best hands-on workshops I’ve ever been to (and definitely the most delicious). I appreciated how we walked through each major phase of the sourdough process in the course of 90 minutes, because of the preparation that Yosh had done in advance. I was able to ask all of my questions, while getting hands-on experience with the parts that felt the most intimidating. Not only did we learn the science (and art) of sourdough but my mind has been opened to the wider world of fermentation and I’ve already begun creating a ‘project-based’ kitchen with many of the lessons learned. The workshop culminated in the most unbelievably tasty spread of warm sourdough and many other fermented goodies, nourishing conversations and considering the larger (slightly existential) wisdom of the fermentation process. As Yoshua said right out the gate, “fermentation is simply creating the conditions for transformation to arise.” So basically, we are now alchemists and life is much tastier. Thank you, Yoshua and Aja for an amazing experience. ”
“Yosh and Aja are of the magic sort, weaving culture in community through sourdough and breaking bread. An active and tactile learning environment, the class was collaborative. And then we gathered around a table of many fermented jewels- kraut, cured meats, cultured butter and cheese, the brilliant yellow of preserved lemons, garlic honey…if you believe me I could continue. And isn’t this the true culturing? Living wisdom of the ancestral roots of food. Chickens in the backyard and conversations about spring water as sacred. The background music is connection and laughter. It’s with full hearted gratitude that I found these two beautiful people breathing life into human relationship with food. You’ll walk away with an expanded family, welcoming in your sourdough kin.”
