Salty-spicy Indian lemon pickles are the perfect condiment for all our Indian meals. They are similar to many other delicious Indian-style pickles, a firm bite and powerful flavour is the hallmark of this type of condiment.
Fermented lemons are a delicious addition to your kitchen. They are really easy to make and are a great way to preserve a bountiful supply of lemons. The tangy and salty flavour is perfect for balancing creamy dishes or adding a bit of an exotic flare to everyday meals.
This salty-sour-sweet fermented cranberry relish is a flavourful addition to any Thanksgiving feast. It has a delicious savoury flavour that makes it a good all-purpose condiment for all sorts of dishes: cheese and crackers, burgers sandwiches.
I LOVE this gluten free flatbread recipe. The resulting bread is soft, rich and flavourful, yet strong enough to hold up as a pita bread or focaccia. It is really quick to make, will last for several days before going stale and it freezes well too.
What could be a better addition to a rich and heavy meal than a fermented cranberry sauce? The fresh flavour and probiotic goodness helps with digestion and brings a brightness to the table.
Healthy pumpkin pancakes are the perfect autumn breakfast. They are delicious served with probiotic whipping cream or cream cheese to balance the warm, spicy flavour of pumpkin pie.
Date caramel sauce is the perfect sugar-free alternative to traditional caramel sauce. Dates provide both the sweetness and the rich caramelly flavour.
Curious about fermentation, but aren’t exactly sure what to try out? Here is a list of my my favourite ferments. These are fermented foods that I ALWAYS have in my larder. The sort of ferments I take on holiday because I love them that much.
A glass full of eggnog is definitely a tradition in our house! With brandy for the adults and a cinnamon stick for the kids, what could be more enjoyable? Best of all, my favourite recipe only takes only 5 minutes to make!
All beer traditionally would have been sour beer. This was dictated by the lack of sterility in the brewing process and the fact that standardized pure yeasts weren’t available.
Homemade sauerkraut is one of the easiest things to ferment. It is a wonderfully reliable ferment and doesn’t take any special skills or ingredients.
Torta di mele is an Italian apple cake that is so rich, so delicious, so absolutely AMAZING that I feel like demanding that EVERYONE try making it right now.
