Turnpaugh Health Teaching Kitchen — Enola
4955 Woodland Drive, Enola, PA

What if some of the most incredible foods you’ve ever tasted were created by tiny living organisms?

Join Claudine Jones and Karrie Billets, Functional Medicine Health Coaches at Turnpaugh Health, for an interactive Teaching Kitchen experience exploring the fascinating world of fermentation.

Together, they’ll show you how simple ingredients, beneficial microbes, and a little time can work together to create vibrant, flavorful foods that cultures around the world have enjoyed for thousands of years.

Long before refrigeration, fermentation was used to preserve food while developing rich, complex flavors. Today, these traditional foods are getting renewed attention for another reason: their connection to the gut microbiome and overall well-being.

What to Expect

During this hands-on, educational evening, you’ll:

• Sample four delicious fermented recipes inspired by culinary traditions from around the world.
• Learn how beneficial microbes naturally transform everyday ingredients.
• Discover why fermentation creates flavors and textures that simply can’t be achieved any other way.
• Explore the connection between fermented foods and gut health and the microbiome.
• Leave with simple ideas and practical tips for incorporating more fermented foods into your meals at home.

Whether fermented foods are completely new to you or your refrigerator is already stocked with favorites, this class will give you a deeper appreciation for the process behind them—and perhaps introduce you to a few new favorites along the way.
