Everyone knows how to make kimchi now. But what do you actually do with it - beyond kimchi on toast?
This is the class that answers that, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. No recipes to memorise - just simple, everyday ways to fold ferments into the food you're already eating, every single day.
Across these seasonal sessions, Elena from Fermary shows you how a spoonful of something alive can transform every day meals. Elena grew up on fermented foods - it's her heritage, long before it was a trend - later she went on to build award-winning, London-based fermentation brands, Fermary, stocked at Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Wholefoods and over 200 stockists across the country.
Decades in the UK's fine food industry have given her a rare eye for flavour, colour and texture, matched with the real, gut-healthy benefits ferments bring to the table. Each class follows the season and asks for nothing but an appe&te - and a willingness to make ferments not a trend, but a daily, effortless part of how you eat.
Autumn session Living Ferments: Orchard & Root - opening where autumn begins: the orchard and the root vegetable patch. Make your own beetroot sauerkraut, then put ferments to work three ways - swirled into labneh, spooned over roasted roots, and tossed through an apple, walnut and kraut salad.

About Elena Deminska
When Elena began turning leftover vegetables from their London fruit & vegetable shop into preserves, her husband said, “Why don’t you ferment them?” Knowing she had grown up with those traditions, it lit a spark. Combining inherited knowledge with deep food expertise, she began creating small-batch ferments that quickly went viral and grew into a widely loved fermentation brand. Later, this journey became FERMARY, a modern fermentation brand rooted in gut health, beauty, and the timeless wisdom of nature.
FERMARY is a modern, female-led brand offering premium, London-made fermented food, 100% raw, flavourful, and full of functional benefits. Designed to support gut health and elevate everyday meals, it's more than a brand, it’s a movement. Backed by decades of expertise, FERMARY celebrates fermentation and better living.
