ABOUT EKA:
Eka Davies is an avid food fermenter. Her journey into the food fermentation began a few years ago when her friend suffered chronic stomach complaints, with doctors unable to help her and desperate for a solution, she stumbled across and began to consume milk Kefir, a living organism that causes milk to ferment creating an abundance of probiotics. After drinking the fermented milk every day for a few weeks, her stomach problems were resolved– Eka had to know more and became obsessed with particular ingredients, they are free and abundant, they are everywhere – microbes.
Since olden times humans have harnessed the power of microbes to preserve food and to enhance its flavour. There is a renewed interest in this ancient alchemy. She has a particular interest in celebrating culturally diverse fermentation traditions.
