Willy St. Co-op Cooking Class: Elderberry Syrup & Honey Fermented Garlic
Elderberry syrup and honey-fermented garlic are the focus of a single evening class at Willy Street Co-op West on Monday, November 16. Instructor Wendy Porterfield will lead a demonstration with hands-on participation; the co-op says each participant will leave with jars of both recipes.
A winter theme, with cooking at the center
The co-op presents the recipes as traditional seasonal remedies and connects them with winter and cold-and-flu season. The announced class instruction, however, is culinary: how to prepare, store and use the two recipes. The description does not establish medical effects.
