May 2019 – Fermented Tour of Asia with Samantha McTague

Thank you to Samantha McTague for tonight’s Ferments of Asia demo. She loved sharing her love for all homemade goodies and is so passionate about all things home cooked from scratch, fermented and mason jar canned from homemade heritage flour biscuits to cultured butter, to amazing triple citrus jam, to a mustard greens  ferment that she contributed for our potluck. It was an amazing May potluck meeting with delicious nutrient dense food (thank you all for the generous entrees and sides), getting a hands on demo of Korean radish kimchi and Filipino atchara ferments and so much joy and fun sharing a meal and talking and laughing around the dinner table. It was great to see new faces as well as welcoming back a few members that we haven’t seen in awhile. Looking forward to our next get together!

April 2019 The Culture of Sourdough with Arianna Sikorski of Taste My Culture

Our March potluck featured Arianna Sikorski, founder of Taste My Culture, and third-generation holder of a 100+ year-old Alaskan sourdough starter. Ariana travels the world exploring cultural heritage through taste. From the heights of Machu Picchu to the geothermal waters of Iceland, she and her sourdough starter continue to explore and live as a catalyst for scientific discovery, cultural exchange, culinary experimentation, artistic adventure, and, ultimately, a sensory experience of Alaskan history.

October 2018 – Halloween Party and Herbal Remedies & Tinctures with Herbalist Christina Chan

Here are a few photos from our October meeting.  The food was amazing, and we all enjoyed the costume contest.  Our founding leader Karen came in first place in her full garb as a flamenco dancer, and won a bag of Halloween goodies to share, which everyone appreciated, especially the children.  A good time was had by all, and Christina Chan did a fabulous job teaching us all about herbal tinctures, so much so that we’re now planning a field trip to her workplace, Dragon Herbs!
