Fire and Ferment 2.0: A No Shoes Nutrition BBQ Party

Fire and Ferment 2.0: A No Shoes Nutrition BBQ Party

Back by popular demand, our second annual Fire and Ferment experience is not just a cooking class—it’s a bold, flavour-packed summer BBQ party where gut health meets the grill.

This immersive, hands-on experience brings together the smoky richness of perfectly grilled meats and vegetables with the vibrant, tangy complexity of fermented foods. You’ll discover how live-cultured ingredients can elevate your BBQ from simple to unforgettable—adding depth, brightness, and balance to every bite.

Throughout the class, we’ll explore the powerful connection between flavour and function—how fermentation not only enhances taste but also supports digestion, gut health, and overall vitality. You’ll learn how to seamlessly incorporate fermented foods into your everyday cooking.

Together, we’ll dive into creative pairings, using ferments in marinades, sauces, and sides that complement and enhance grilled dishes. From bold flavour combinations to simple, practical techniques, you’ll walk away with the confidence to bring something truly unique to your next BBQ.

Whether you’re a fermentation enthusiast, a BBQ lover, or someone who simply enjoys great food and great company, this event is designed to inspire, educate, and bring people together around incredible food.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon where fire meets ferment—and flavour takes centre stage.
