Taste of the Revolution: Pickling & Fermenting for All Ages with Kevin Redline In-Person
Learn how and what to pickle or ferment for your holiday feasts! Join us for a tasty all-ages afternoon of edifying fun with fermentation aficionado Kevin Redline.
We'll celebrate salt’s power to preserve food, learn some science, demonstrate techniques, share recipes, and do some hands-on pickling.
Then we'll enjoy tasting a cornucopia of locally pickled and fermented treats!
This free program is for all ages. Registration is requested (so we know how many delicious pickled and fermented treats to supply). Please scroll down and use the button below to register.
This Taste of the Revolution event is part of our Salisbury READS program, encouraging the community to read of Revolution Song by Russell Shorto as well as our children's and YA book choices. To learn more about the books and see the current calendar of events, please visit Salisbury READS. Free copies of REVOLUTION SONG and our children's and YA READs will be available to take home at this event.
In connection with Salisbury READS, we'll start this program with a small side dish of 1770's history about salt's significance to colonial-era survival, travel, exploration, expansion, entrepreneurship, and trade. You'll learn how the British blockade of salt sparked a New England industry, and we'll also mention the current day “fermentation revolution,” which is reviving old traditions with new knowledge about health benefits.
Kevin Redline is a Scholarly Communications and STEM Liaison librarian at Quinnipiac University and has worked in both public and university libraries across Connecticut.

Salisbury READS is an annual celebration of reading, conversation, and community. The READ encourages the entire community to read a selected book together and engage in discussions, activities, and other informative and interactive events. This year’s READ is presented in partnership with the Salisbury Association, the Salisbury Forum, and the Troutbeck Symposium.
