Turmeric Ginger Pickle + Tonic Workshop

Join us for an enriching 2 ½ hour workshop where you'll discover the art of crafting a vibrant, fermented anti-inflammatory condiment using fresh ginger and turmeric rhizomes, alongside an invigorating tonic crafted from their scraps. Known as Upillitathy in Malayalam, the language of Kerala, South India, this technique involves fermenting vegetables in salt, a traditional practice that instills confidence in the natural curing power of salt. Delve into the historical Ayurvedic uses of ginger and turmeric, and learn how to incorporate these beneficial ingredients into your modern lifestyle.

Led by Suresh Pillai, a culinary expert steeped in the traditions of his hometown in Kerala, South India, this workshop presented by Atina Foods promises an immersive experience. Sample the pickle with a light South Indian vegan meal, and savor our elixir as we explore the flavors and health benefits together. Take home your own live jar of pickle and brewed tonic, equipped with recipes to continue your culinary journey at home.

Join us in our certified commercial kitchen nestled within our serene farm property, and seize the opportunity to embark on a farm tour and indulge in shopping at our Atina Home Store.

This workshop is designed for adults, with any level of fermentation or cooking experience.
