The ever-expanding food landscape has recently been dominated by the emergence and expansion of fermented food and drink products. However, the knowledge and understanding required to safely produce these products can be complex and technical. As with all food and drink there must be controls in place to safeguard the consumers health, failure to do so can be disastrous.
The course is produced and delivered by Robin Sherriff, a leading expert in fermented food and drinks and the CEO of The Fermenters Guild UK.
Robin came to study an MSc in Gastronomy where he learned systems theory and how it relates to food. Gaining a knowledge of food chains and the complex and obfuscated paths it takes to bring a meal to the table.
Robin formed The Fermenters Guild UK at the beginning of 2021. He now offers workshops, talks, and consultation on fermentation techniques which allows him to not only discuss practical techniques, but the history, importance and inherently radical nature of alternative foodways, systems and food theory.
This course will cover (but not limited to):
- What is Fermentation? (Breakdown of Carbs by Microorganisms)
- Historical Significance of Fermentation (Food Preservation)
- Role of Microorganisms (Bacteria & Yeast)
- Expected HACCPs and Processes (Including Validation, Verification and Shelf Life)
