“I really, REALLY enjoyed the course and thought the videos and recipes were excellent, clear, easy to follow, informative etc. Both types of Zoom sessions (gut health and Q&A) were extremely useful … Every recipe I have done has been a success and delicious

If I had to do it all over again or recommend it to someone in the exact format, I would do 100%. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am now an avid fermenter and pickler! Thanks again for the love, care and detail you put into this.  I’ve done many courses over the past years and this has definitely been the best!” - Alain Lolliot (January 2021 course)

“Thank you so much.  Loved the course!  Thrilled with what I’ve made.  Plus Dr Ruth gave extremely helpful gut health talks” - Suzette Pulman (January 2021 course)

"Let me start by saying that I am a people person, who learns best from hands on practical interaction with others. It was therefore with some trepidation I embarked on an online course.
How wrong could I be, you have designed the course to be accessible, sociable and practical (no mean feat). The inclusion of sessions with Dr Cammish gave valuable background to gut health. Your video tutorials are spot on, practical and easy to follow. Your style is friendly and you makes us believe we can do it.
In the end l found the online format exceptionally well thought out and executed. One of its big advantages was that I was able to go through the course material at my own pace which fitted in with my busy schedule.  I can’t recommend your course enough- top marks from me” - Kay Campbell (January 2021 course)

 

LEARN HOW TO FERMENT, HOW TO USE YOUR FERMENTS AND TOP TIPS FOR A HAPPY GUT

LET'S GET FERMENTING TOGETHER

Over 8 weeks, I’ll be DEMYSTIFYING FERMENTATION, showing you how easy it is to ferment at home with fun ‘ferment-alongs’ to watch in your own time, do at your own pace but with all important 1-2-1 SUPPORT from me via interactive live Q&As, private Instagram and Facebook pages and good old email!

Each week, we will focus on a different ferment, with additional recipes as to how to use your ferments in your everyday meals. I will share the tutorials week by week on a members-only website, so you can do it at your own pace. You will have access to the course materials after the course has finished too to refer back to them.

There will be LIVE GUT HEALTH sessions with Dr Ruth Cammish, medical writer and speaker, qualified lifestyle medicine GP.  These sessions will also be recorded, so you can watch afterwards too.

The course begins Thurs 6th May with the first video tutorial accessible via the members only website. Remember, you can watch and ferment-along in your own time!

"A huge thank you to you and Ruth. I enjoyed it enormously.   

I think you were both complete naturals teaching via zoom - it was a great treat on a Wednesday evening to have your smiley face and infectious enthusiasm.

A ray of sunshine in a somewhat gloomy lockdown place” Joy Blake (January 2021 course)

" I really enjoyed the course, especially the aspect of learning with others and having the opportunity to consult with you along the way. In terms of the course and content, for me it was just right, as I could do it at my own pace but still felt that I was learning and able to ask questions” - Jayne Learoyd (January 2021 course)

“I loved your course – I have previously given krauts a go with mixed results. I am really enjoying experimenting with making and using my ferments.  I never thought I could make a kimchi like yours!

I found the course really easy to do, especially as there was no time pressure. It has really expanded my knowledge base, and hopefully having a good impact on my gut!

I hadn’t heard of fermented hot sauces or pastes and now am using them regularly and have some fermented food most days. The live sessions were also very interesting” - Natalia Bell (January 2021 course)

AN INTRODUCTION TO JULES AND DR RUTH CAMMISH

Jules - ALWAYS PICKLING, BUT NEVER IN A PICKLE

I’ve been running workshops for years and have been fermenting and pickling for over 25 years, largely from home.  I LOVE IT.

I watched my Italian nonna, the ‘Original Preserver’, preserving seasonal veg and as a student, living in Russia, I learnt how to ferment, starting with a simple sauerkraut recipe.

After a career in renewable energy, I turned my passion for fermenting and preserving into THE PLUCKY PICKLE.

My goal is to get fermented foods into everyone’s everyday meals, to share with family, friends and demystify FERMENTATION, showing how easy and fun FERMENTING can be.
