3h discovery with Yannick and his team

Knowledge of fermentation

Your hot sauce and an "on fire" tasting of chillies

The workshop in detail

  • 2h
  • 15 years min.
  • 3 to 12 participants
  • Up to 15 people for a privatization
  • Ready to play with fire?

    Meet Yannick, passionate about fermentation and learn how to cook your own hot sauce!

    First of all, Yannick will take the time to tell you about his background and his attraction to the mystery of fermentation and all that it offers.

    With a lot of pedagogy, he will explain the basic principles, share his knowledge of the different varieties of chillies and... make you taste them!

    Then, together, you will prepare the chillies needed for your hot sauce recipe!

    Then, step by step, he will teach you how to cook and garnish it until it is ready to be put in a jar.

    After this workshop, you will leave Yannick with your own jar of hot sauce to enjoy at home!

    This workshop is offered in French, Dutch and English. Yannick will adapt the language of the workshop according to the participants present.

    Workshop location

    Yannick's workshop is located a few minutes' walk from the Pannenhuis metro station (line 6) and the Dieudonné Lefèvre bus stop (line 88).

    Practical information

    The studio is not heated, and for good reason! Yannick and his team ferment the lactos at room temperature and they don't want to rush these fermentations. The temperature in the studio varies between 15 and 25 degrees throughout the year. Dress warmly!

    Meet Yannick & his team

    Fermentation Specialist

    It was in 2017 that Yannick decided to switch careers and start his own business, with a desire to share his passion for fermentation. 

    He wants to test all the possibilities that fermentation has to offer, moving beyond the popular classics such as beer, bread, or kombucha. He therefore performed various experiments with vegan charcuterie, miso, and even vinegar. A passionate convert, but also very socially engaged, he uses only local products. 

    His openness and his teaching ability allow him to transmit his passion through his own workshop, sharing all the mysteries of fermentation!

    Je m'attendais à un "simple" atelier de fabrication de sauce mais au final c'est une découverte assez complète du monde de la fermentation qui m'a été présenté lors de cet atelier. Yannick est un passionné et ça se ressent dans sa manière d'expliquer. Nous étions venu en groupe et tout le monde a adoré l'atelier. À faire pour toute personne curieuse de ce genre d'artisanat.

    Great experience last night. I wondered before the atelier what would we do for 2h but it was ideal. Combination of learning, tasting and exploring new flavours. Thank you Yannick it was the perfect birthday gift for my friend.

    merci Yannick pour ce chouette atelier. Une belle et intéressante découverte avec en prime des sensations très "Hot". Une suggestion peut-être: demander aux participants d'apporter leur pot parfait afin de repartir avec le mélange mis en fermentation et pouvoir découvrir après un mois ce que cela donne en live. Bravo encore!
