Fermentation Expert Denis Pashkov Launches Non-Profit Skill-Sharing Initiative for UAE Culinary Professionals
Free Online Fermentation Workshop with certification for all UAE-based chefs and hospitality professionals
We’ve been through the toughest shifts before, and we’ll get through this one too. With the current challenges hitting our industry, we know many of you are facing unexpected downtime, unpaid leaves, or the stress of what’s next. It feels a bit like 2020 again, but we aren’t going through it alone.
The UAE is more than just a place of work; for so many of us in the hospitality industry, this is our home. During these times of change, we want to thank the UAE government for their unwavering commitment to doing everything they can to protect us and ensure our community remains resilient.
A Non-Profit Mission for Culinary Innovation
In the spirit of solidarity, Denis Pashkov—a fermentation consultant and expert in culinary innovation—is launching a Free Online Fermentation Workshop with certification for all UAE-based chefs and hospitality professionals.
Instead of letting this time go to waste, cosmos society team are offering their expertise in lacto-fermented sodas and koji applications, as well as in bio-culinary science to help our community sharpen its tools. This is a strictly non-profit initiative designed to provide a space where we can keep our passion alive without the burden of costs or expensive kits.
What the Initiative Includes
We want to offer a space to learn, grow, and experiment together. The online workshop focuses on high-level expertise made accessible for any kitchen:
The Science of Fermentation: Deepening your understanding of the “why” behind the craft.
Zero-Equipment Demos: Techniques you can replicate at home with no special kits required.
Koji Applications: Specialized insights into the versatility of Koji in modern culinary innovation.
Cosmos Society Certification: Official recognition for everyone who joins to help bolster your professional profile.
Denis Pashkov and the Cosmos Society believe that by leaning on each other and sharing our expertise, we ensure that the UAE’s culinary scene remains the best in the world. Let’s use this time to uplift each other and prepare for the next chapter.
We will come back stronger than ever!
