Please join our Seattle and Paris Chapters on Monday, March 22nd for a LDEI Zoom Table Talks event as our international, dynamic team of Dames presents Fermented Foods in the USA & France and Their Benefits - an online forum that is engaging, informative, and fun.
Our panel will discuss the benefits of fermented foods in the diet and the important role fermented foods and beverages play in French and American cuisines, and why fermented foods are gut superstars. Instead of a science-heavy presentation, this will be a lively conversation so you can participate! What would you like to ask the panel about fermented foods and gut health? What do you really want to know about the gut microbiome? How much do you know about the bacteria that reside in fermented foods like wine, kimchi, sauerkraut - and how to creatively incorporate fermented foods into daily meals?
Presenters:

Author of Fresh & Fermented (Sasquatch 2014), Julie has been infusing foods with her fresh ferments for more than a decade now at Firefly Kitchens.
