The festive season is a time for indulgence, sharing and celebration — but rich holiday foods can leave us feeling sluggish and out of balance. Bring your gut back into the picture with delicious, vibrant lacto-fermented foods that add live cultures, flavour and variety to your festive table.
Your gut microbiome plays a vital role in digestion, immune function and overall wellbeing. Fermented foods can introduce beneficial live microbes and, alongside a diverse, fibre-rich diet, help support a thriving gut ecosystem. A little fermentation can make a delicious difference to how you nourish yourself throughout the summer holidays.
Join author, chef, and wholefood educator Marcea Klein for a hands-on workshop that explores the magic of fermentation. Learn to turn the season’s best summer produce into flavour-packed creations you can prep ahead and enjoy through Christmas and beyond.
Discover the delicious possibilities:
Fizzy Fermented Pineapple Drink — a refreshing, tangy tropical ferment.
Sweet or Savoury Fermented Salsa or Chutney — lively flavours with gut-friendly potential.
Native herbal Summer Kraut
Vibrant Fermented Fruit Chutney — a flavourful accompaniment to your holiday feast.
Make room for gut goodness this summer. Learn simple fermentation skills, bring more diversity to your plate, and discover how to enjoy festive food while caring for your microbiome.
Note: Live-culture content varies between ferments. Fermented foods are not suitable for everyone, particularly some people who are immunocompromised or have specific medical or dietary needs. Please seek professional advice if you have concerns.

Hi, I’m Marcea! :-)
I’m a published author of 8 books on food and wellness. I have a private practice focusing on body-mind health through lifestyle, diet, mental health and wellness. I have over thirty years of experience. I studied Macrobiotics, fermentation and plant-based cooking and nutrition in Japan, India, and the US, along with psychotherapy, and Traditional Chinese Nutritional Medicine.
This knowledge has helped me re-balance my own health and develop a unique understanding of how food can affect our overall mental and physical health and be medicinal. Through this experience, I have developed a unique style of cooking and health which I am passionate about sharing with others.
If you have ever wanted to know how to master ferments and make the perfect sauerkraut, kimchi or salt-brine pickles, or dumplings or Japanese cooking then one of my cooking classes is where you’ll want to explore.
