Come join us on the library's beautiful Skyline Terrace as we learn how the ancient fermentation process is practiced and enjoyed in Korean and Haitian cultures. Olga Sorzano of Baba's Brew will share her extensive knowledge on the science of fermentation as acclaimed local chefs Clara Park and Chris Paul show us how to make kimchi and pikliz— two spicy, fermented vegetable mixes from opposite sides of the globe. Guided by the chefs, participants will learn some basic knifework, layer flavors, and prepare their jars to bring home to enjoy once fermented.
Safety is our top priority. This hybrid event has limited in-person tickets to ensure safe, physical distancing as well as an option to attend virtually via Zoom. According to current guidance from the city of Philadelphia, it is required that all in-person attendees, regardless of vaccination status, mask for this event, which will take place outdoors but will move inside in the event of inclement weather.
