 Spice Beyond Sauce – The Global Story of Heat 

Following the success of our Fermented Hot Sauce Workshop, we invite you to go beyond the bottle and explore the diverse, fiery world of hot spices from around the globe. This workshop will introduce you to unique chili and spice varieties, their culinary traditions, their role in history, medicine, and culture and how to preserve them for a long time. 

Learn about the nuances of spice through tasting and scientific background: capsaicin (hot peppers), hydroxy-alpha sanshool (sichuan), allyl isothiocyanate (wasabi) and lets make together products like Shito (from Ghana), Zhug (from Yemen), Achar (from India) and many more
