Fermentation is an ancestral process that has shaped human existence. It has been used as a tool for preservation, ritual, health, culture, flavor and cooking. However, in today’s western world we have grown a fear towards bacteria and death, which has impacted our quality of life. This knowledge share will inspire you to see food and death from a new perspective.

Daniela Reul is a cook, herbalist, astrologer, and ceramicist, who has been using fermentation not only as a way of cooking but sees it as a philosophy of life as well. Her love for fermentation began almost a decade ago in an alchemy class. Fermentation being the process of decay and transformation has inspired her to see death as a process of releasing the spirit and the rebirth of physical matter. Daniela is deeply passionate about ancestral ways of cooking and living, which are the inspiration for all her practices.
