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.

Homemade Sourdough Cold Cereal | It's been fun to tackle the cereal challenge over the years, discovering everyone's preferences and searching for the perfect crunchy texture. This may sound silly, but we like a cereal that doesn't immediately go soggy once submerged in milk. For a long time, I achieved all of this with my oven, but my husband blessed me with an Excalibur dehydrator this last Christmas, which has greatly improved the texture of our cereal! | GNOWFGLINS.com

The Big Flat Real Food Reuben Sandwich | Who knew that making a big honkin' loaf-sized sandwich and flattening it under cement blocks, rocks, or gym weights could be so fun (or so delicious)? I'd seen other Big Flat Sandwiches around the internet, but when Wardee first presented the idea of making a real food Big Flat Sandwich, I immediately knew I needed to try my all-time favorite sandwich -- the Reuben. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Lacto-Fermented Roasted Red Pepper Hummus | Hummus is the only dip I make -- because of its delicious flavor and versatility. The peppers in this roasted red pepper hummus make it slightly sweet while the lacto-fermentation adds a bit of tang. It's really scrumptious! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Kombucha can be expensive to purchase, but it costs just pennies to make at home! Once you get the hang of it, it's time to experiment with flavorings. Here are 5 fun spiced and fruit flavorings for Fall.

How do you make grain-free baked goods? I use soaked nuts. Grain-free sourdough bread recipes may be hard to find, but this one is a versatile gem that can be made into loaves or rolls and eaten as sandwiches or toast! It tastes just like tender, soft, fresh, whole wheat bread!

"Does sourdough remove phytic acid? My family needs to avoid it because of tooth decay and cavities in my children," asks Wendy R. Watch, listen, or read to find out my answer! | AskWardee.tv

Sausage... A gourmet delicacy, yet it is the essence of nose-to-tail farm frugality. Nothing goes to waste when all the scraps and small pieces of meat are used to make sausage. Salting, smoking, fermenting, and drying are all ways to preserve meat for longer without refrigeration. Sausage made at home from the best local, pastured meats, mixed with tons of wholesome flavor, avoids all the chemicals found in processed meats.

6 Tips to Prevent "Sour" Sourdough | The most common complaint with sourdough foods is that the more choosy of our family members don't care for a sour flavor. Did you know that sourdough does not have to be sour? These six tips will help you ensure that your sourdough baked goods are pleasantly tangy, rather than overly sour -- or perhaps not sour at all! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
