As we approach the winter season, one of the most powerful foods for supporting health and wellbeing is a rich and warming broth.
Mineral-rich and deeply nourishing, bone broth is a food which has been used traditionally by cultures world-wide as a first food for weaning children; during acute illness; for postpartum recovery; and as food for the elderly or those with chronic illness. Bone broth is known to promote good gut health, and is especially beneficial for those with allergies, food intolerances, and autoimmune conditions; it's a powerful food!
For participants who are vegetarian or vegan, I'll offer recipes and techniques for plant- and fungus-based broths & congees that will give you an immune boost to keep you strong, healthy, and well-nourished year-round, too.
In this lecture, we'll address why broth is good for you, how to prepare it, where to source quality ingredients, and how to store large quantities of it.
This class is brought to you by Homestead Logan Square, an ongoing educational workshop series designed to empower you to take ownership of your urban landscape with workshops ranging from fermentation, canning, basic herbalism, and more.

So informative & delicious! Melea really knew her stocks & broths! The 5 page handout was full of tips and resources too. I highly recommend this class and the Homestead Logan Square series!

Malea really knows her way around broths The lecture was great but I think sampling the broth was the best! I'd never thought of chicken feet for broth but now that I've tasted it I'm willing to give it a try.
