Fermenting & Culturing

From our favorite saurkraut recipe, kombucha made with honey, sourdough pizza and, of course, sourdough english muffins, you'll find easy step by step recipes for all your favorite lacto-ferments, probiotic beverages and desserts, and sourdough recipes.

Sometimes I'm just in a stuffing mood... Then the big questions are: what can I serve with it? What new twist can I create? I initially resisted adding sausage to my stuffing. Finally, I caved, and I'm so glad I did! My newest version is a savory sourdough stuffing with Italian sausage!
