Salt of The Earth

December 30th at at 11AM EST (New York) is the final session of our WritersCultures program, and the start of a new year of Salt and Ceremony. We have many things planned for those that become Annual Members.

Before the end of the year that will cost you $75. Once 2023 rolls around that will cost $150 dollars. See below for registration information.

Eleni Michael with Moungra, a unique sourdough based ferment specific to Cyprus.

Using leaven or sourdough, or any fermenting starch like rice paste, to make ferments is an ancient practice. Thanks to Charles Perry for translating into English some of the most important history of fermentation, preservation and pickling.

For the final day we have an amazing line up. So far, that includes Christine Krauss of Chirp Foods making her version of subeshi, or walnut and miso stuffed citrus sweetmeat or confection. Nancy Singleton Hachisu has redone her entire presentation and added some crucial photos and narrative to her Nami no Hana (波の花) Do Goen segment.

Mustard Kraut made with cabbage and corn sourdough starter

We also have Ken Fornataro on ancient and modern ferments using sourdough or grain based leavens as was done – and in some places, still is – very commonly.

Then, Vanika Choudhary will demonstrate a regional version of a pumpkin miso – easily adapted to where you live – using rice koji and peppers native to her part of India.

Takashi Sato of San—J instructs you to make a very intense, gluten free version of shoyu or Japanese soy sauce called tamari, then offers some brilliant ways to use it. And Dawn Woodward of Evelyn’s Crackers presents a trio of amazing rye and whole grain based breads and desserts.

And there’s more. But you’re not going to see other than the above until 2023. Salt and Ceremony is the final, months long group of Sessions of our program WritersCultures. Before December 31st Annual Membership costs $75. In January of 2023 it goes to $150.

The Role of Salt in Fermented Breads.

For the Salt and Ceremony sessions Ekta describes the role of salt in fermented bread. She compares different percentages of salt to the same sourdough bread recipe.

The Role of Salt in Fermented Breads

Ekta Maheshwari is an ex-consumer market researcher whose interest in Sourdough baking and a life-changing move from India to Toronto led her to the kitchens of Prairie Boy Bread (a sourdough bakery).

Her quest to learn more about sustainable eating led her to work with Dawn of Evelyn’s Crackers (Whole-grain bakery) whose work has been an immense source of inspiration for her.

Ekta sees food as a lens to learning more about the intricacies of the world. Food has also been a medium for her to connect cultures and navigate the experience of being a first-generation immigrant.

She also hosts Sourdough baking workshops for beginners which she plans to resume soon. Find her on Instagram @gulp.fiction to learn more.
