Your teacher
Located in Oakland, California, Preserved is a culinary shop by day, and a workshop space by night. For nearly a decade, we've been teaching classes and selling ingredients, tools and supplies relating to preserving and fermenting. We offer in-depth, hands-on workshops on making pickles, kombucha, cheese, jams, sourdough & much more. I opened Preserved in 2015, after working for 10 years in the restaurant industry with a focus on local, sustainable and handmade food. Partway through my food career, I began to desire a more intimate connection with the food and beverages I loved, so I embarked on a journey to learn how they were made. I started (literally) from the ground up, learning sustainable farming practices through the work-travel organization, World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Preserving the harvest from my urban garden was a natural next step. Inspired by Sandor Katz’s book, Wild Fermentation, I was soon experimenting with the alchemy of fermentation. Through a combination of formal training, insatiable curiosity and extensive home experimentation, I continued to explore the flavors and health benefits of traditionally-preserved foods, beverages and herbal medicines. I studied Holistic Nutrition at Bauman College in Berkeley, California, and apprenticed with a natural wine maker in Oregon, a cheesemaker in Watsonville, CA and an herbalist in Oakland, CA. I continue to be driven by the desire to learn, create and share the joys and health benefits of traditional culinary techniques at Preserved. Opening Preserved has allowed me to continue exploring preservation techniques and to share these ancient practices with my community. Not only are we preserving food, but together we are preserving tradition!
