Fundamentals II — The Adventure Continues!

In 2010, we brought you the Fundamentals eCourse, our original and widely-popular first class. Together we explored soaking grains, cooking beans, sprouting, sourdough, natural fermentation, cultured dairy, simple cheesemaking and more.

And now, in 2012…

…our adventure continues with the Fundamentals II eCourse.

We’ll explore more fundamental traditional cooking skills, like important equipment, natural sweeteners, healthy desserts, traditional fats, dark stocks and fish stock, wild and pastured meats, organ meats, advanced grain preparation methods, vegetables, homemade salad dressings and sauces, real salt, superfoods, healthy snacks, and traveling with real foods.
