Fermentation Workshop with Tereza Poljanič

The advanced course “Fermenting the Future” consists of three sessions that build on basic fermentation knowledge, focusing on advanced microbiological techniques, experimentation with homemade cultures, and zero-waste methods. Each session will be dedicated to preparing and customizing fermented non-alcoholic beverages (kombucha, water kefir, etc.), designing culinary recipes with both savory and sweet ferments, and deepening knowledge of sustainable urban preservation.

In a relaxed atmosphere of group exchange of cultures and experiences, all participants are welcome, including those who did not attend the introductory course. Participants will receive starter cultures, essential tools, and mentorship to independently advance fermentation protocols, create non-alcoholic desserts and dishes, and creatively incorporate fermented foods into everyday cooking.

• Thursday, 12 February 2026, 16:00–20:00
• Thursday, 19 February 2026, 16:00–20:00
• Thursday, 26 February 2026, 16:00–20:00
