A Pickling Workshop: Stories of Food Preservation
Wed October 30 @ 19:00 - 21:00
How can our food preservation practices connect us to one another? Can food preservation teach us anything about food justice, and vice versa?
Join us to take part in the Jewish tradition of pickling with an interactive workshop co-hosted by Mazon Canada and The Wandering Chew. Kat Romanow (Co-Founder, The Wandering Chew) will lead guests into making their own pickles as we explore the history of Jewish pickling. With the team from Mazon Canada, we’ll explore themes of food preservation and food security, understanding the roles of food preservation across cultures, climates, and generations.
Each guest will prepare and go home with one jar of sauerkraut and one jar of preserved lemons. Guests will also be able to take home printed copies of each recipe, so you can make them again or share them with loved ones. Following our hard work, guests will be welcome to enjoy a beverage from our bar (not included in ticket price, paid by card only) and schmooze.
Tickets are $25, including all workshop materials. Capacity is limited, so register early to avoid disappointment. Click here to reserve your spot.
About Our Partners:
Mazon Canada is a grassroots community foundation that mobilizes our Jewish community to act on Canadian food security issues – and supports people of all ages, ethnicities, faiths and abilities in accessing the healthy, nutritious food they need to thrive.
The Wandering Chew preserves and revitalizes Jewish food traditions. At our events, we tell the history behind beloved Jewish food. Some recipes may be more familiar, such as bagels and smoked meat, and some may be less well known, such as Gefilte a la Veracruzana from the Mexican-Jewish community and Iraqi-Jewish sambusaks dipped in amba. Our events will introduce you to the vast world of Jewish cuisine.
