Kimchi, tempeh, sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha, nukazuke, pulke, kwas, lempok, tofu, cheese, garum, koji, amazake and many many more to learn! Fermentation is bound to its locality and richness in flavur and culture. The probiotic benefits humans take from it dates back to more than ten thousand years. Fermentation is remedy, resilience and empowerment inside one jar, our oldest heritage of human immaterial culture, passed on as intrinsic oral speech and gesture.
To put it in a nutshell, cooking thus transforms us.

ABOUT
“Cooking thus transforms us" is a framework Maya Minder weaves like a string through her work. She uses cooking as a metaphor of the human transformation of raw nature into cooked culture, and she combines it with the pleasure and desires of umami tasting. She creates entanglements between human commodities and the animism of nature. Facilitator at the eatart - Naturakademie of Michelin star chef Stefan Wiesner, she uses alchemie, biologic wisdom, and a pinch of science for collective storytelling through food and cooking.
