A few weeks ago, I had a chance to meet Elizabeth, owner of Preserved Goods store in Oakland. She was formerly setup in the backyard of Neighbor also one of my favorite store on Piemont Ave. and now she is at her own location in Temescal area. If you are local and haven’t check it out, I highly recommend it. This darling store is filled with preserved goods, gadgets and books. She also offers weekly workshops from cultured pickling, kombucha brewing to even sausage-making. Elizabeth has an extensive knowledge in nutrition and health. We all know fermented foods are healthy and good for our bodies but little did I know how it can affect our bodies and the process that it takes to get it right.
I was able to attend one of her workshop, cultured pickling: Kimchi (how appropriate!) and was so impressed at the amount of knowledge that was shared during the class. This class was very informative with some hands-on experience at the end. We made our own batch of kimchi and took a jar home!
Make sure to stop by to check out the store and also to look out for workshop classes coming up in the summer HERE. I hope I get to run into some of you guys there soon!
