David Zilber is a Torontontonian who left the nest and flew to Copenhagen. There he began working for René Redzepi, considered the greatest chef on earth by many, and wrote a book with him. The Noma Guide to Fermentation is a bible of preserving and occupies a rarified place on the cookbook shelf, right beside The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Ellix Katz.

Now Katz and Zilber are coming together to do a free class on their favourite subject.

“Two leading figures in the world of fermentation will discuss their work, experiences and thoughts on fermentation and how it fits into the current social, cultural, political and environmental context. The theme is inspired by Sandor Ellix Katz’s latest book “Fermentation as Metaphor” which will also be discussed.” – Never Apart*, organizer

This lecture is the second part of “Conversations on Environmental and Social Justice“, a series of lectures that opens up a space to discuss ecology, plants and food, at the intersection of environmental and social justice.

Here’s your chance to dive deep into fermentation with these two masters of pickles. Sandor Katz and David Zilber are offering their free class later this month. Sign up here.
