Fermenting & Culturing

Fermenting and culturing is a central part of a traditional foods kitchen. 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.

Fermented Nut-Free Pesto (+3 recipes) | Ahhhh, pesto. It's so simple, yet adds such complexity to hot or cold dishes. It has so few ingredients and takes so little time to make. In the case of this pesto, it's nut-free and also packs a powerful probiotic punch. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Our recipe for sourdough chocolate cake is one of our most popular recipes ever. So of course, I had to see if it would work in my Instant Pot... the result is amazing! The best chocolate cake ever -- now in the Instant Pot!

The Ultimate Cheese Press Is Updated! (New Video) | Just a quick note this Saturday morning to share news of my favorite cheese press, the Ultimate Cheese Press from Homesteader Supply. It's design is improved, it's now being made from hardwood maple, and it's being seasoned with organic coconut oil! The bit about seasoning is the best part. Jerri from Homesteader Supply heard my request to give us a press that's got an oil we love to use -- and she listened. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Nut Butter Sourdough Cookies | Quick and simple, these nut butter sourdough cookies are bliss! Since I tend to add as little sweetener to my sweets as possible (1 variety uses no sugar at all!), I happily serve these up for quick breakfasts, snacks on the go, celebrations, bedtime snacks, and power foods on the trail. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Lacto-Fermented Hummus | Yesterday, I made our family's traditional hummus -- a recipe handed down from my grandmother and namesake, Tata Wardee. However, there was a difference: this time I lacto-fermented it! Yeah, yeah, by now you know that I try to ferment just about everything. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
