"On September 12-13, east London will be awash with glorious green pickle juice for a weekend of live chef demonstrations, workshops and tunes as funky as a wild ferment, all in celebration of the art of brining."
"The Big Brine will take over Hackney Bridge, hosting artisanal kimchi makers, experimental fermenters and some of the UK's hottest chefs whipping up dishes with a vinegary twist. Among those pickle-masters will be Mob Kitchen's Ayala Daly, who is set to host a dedicated demo stage."
"Clarice Downes and Emma Winstanley, the brains behind The Big Brine, are so passionate about pickling that they and their team are self-funding the launch of the brand new festival."
