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.

It's spring -- the season for airing out the house, splashing in puddles with muck boots, and delighting in light, luscious desserts ... like this cultured lemon cheesecake mousse!

Going Gluten-Free: Fad or Necessity? | I went gluten-free a little over a year ago. Since then I've heard gluten-free eating called a "craze" that lacks common sense, hurts the wheat industry, and randomly condemns an entire food group. Is gluten-free eating a fad -- or is it a necessity? After intense soul-searching and research, here is my answer to this question. | GNOWFGLINS.com
