Health, Taste and Tradition
Chocolate is, in its essence, a fermented product. However, by the time it reaches the grocery store there is little left of that delicious flavour development. Chocolate connoisseurs enjoy the differences in growing region and fermentation in bean-to-bar chocolate.
If you have never tried fresh corn tortillas, then you are missing out. They are absolutely delicious. Warm and soft with that distinctly corny-flavour, they are perfect for tacos, tostadas and taquitos. They are also surprisingly easy!
Probiotic coconut milk yogurt is a rich and creamy dairy-free yogurt. Unlike other vegan yogurts (soy milk or almond milk) coconut milk yogurt can be as thick as you want without any additives. Just use a good quality coconut milk that contains some coconut cream.
Fermented oatmeal is a deliciously traditional breakfast. It’s as quick as instant oatmeal, but is far cheaper and healthier than store-bought instant oatmeal packets. Stir in some nutritious and probiotic toppings to really kickstart your day!
My sister’s been going on about the Buddha bowl for a long time. But for some reason I was never interested in trying it. It made me think of the bland, tasteless food that was passed off a vegetarian fare in the 1980’s. Boy, was I wrong…
Date caramel sauce is the perfect sugar-free alternative to traditional caramel sauce. Dates provide both the sweetness and the rich caramelly flavour.
I LOVE noodle bowls. They are a quick, healthy and delicious meal. It’s easy to add some probiotic power with a kimchi noodle bowl. The best part about noodle bowls is that they are put together individually, allowing the most adventurous eaters to share a meal with a more timid eater.
What if you need probiotics but you don’t have time to ferment? I received two emails in the past few months from busy families that really need the health benefits of probiotic foods, but simply don’t have the time to make homemade ferments.
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.
It’s that time of year again… the time of year when everyone seems to be coughing or blowing their nose. While an occasional cold or flu is an inevitable part of winter, you shouldn’t be chronically sick.
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.
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.
