Turn Simple Ingredients Into Health Goldmines

Eating fermented foods can have an extraordinary effect on your body and has been shown to benefit a number of health conditions including IBS and digestive difficulties, sugar/carb cravings, and other inflammatory disorders. Learning the art of fermentation allows you to become a kitchen chemist and experience the vibrant flavours of foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, fermented salsa, kombucha and kefir.

It was a natural evolution for Dearbhla Reynolds to step into the role of a fermentation revivalist. She is a cross between an old-school pharmacist (her father's job) and a home economics teacher (her mother's job). The Cultured Club was started as an open invitation for those to come and join in the fermenting fun, when they were ready, as opposed to being forced to eat some sauerkraut at her kitchen table. Hence the teaching began and a wonderful timely collaboration with OX restaurant in Belfast gave home to the learning.
