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.

5-Spice Apple Chutney {lacto-fermented} | Kicked up with the Chinese 5-Spice Blend, lacto-fermented apple chutney has been rocking our house lately. I can't keep enough of it on hand for the kids. They love to put a scoop of it in a bowl of kefir. We just went through 1/2 gallon of it in 3 days -- and that was with me telling them not to take so much! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Not-So-Dense (Or Sour) Sourdough Bread | 'Many of my sourdough loaves over the past few years have been dense. Until the day a spark went off in my head: I needed to soak all of my grains the night before, not just the sponge of the bread! A new softer, lighter, less sour, not-so-dense sourdough bread was born!' | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Homemade Cottage Cheese From Raw Goat Milk | Cottage cheese, crepes, and heirloom tomatoes... I can't describe what tomatoes and cottage cheese do for my taste buds, but let's just say it is perfection! The raw cheese delivers vitamins, enzymes, and beneficial probiotics. In this post, I show you how to make easy, homemade cottage cheese. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Fermented Cranberry-Orange-Apple Relish | I recently tweaked my mom's famous cranberry-orange-apple relish recipe to add a fermentation stage. Natural fermentation adds probiotic benefits and beneficial acids for the gut, as well as increases the vitamins and enzymes. As if that weren't enough, this relish (like many other lacto-fermented foods) is incredibly yummy. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread (with Video) | Healthy gluten-free sourdough? Yes, it's totally possible... and it's delicious! Sharon Kane, the expert gluten-free baker behind Gluten-Free Sourdough Company, has launched a product line of gluten-free sourdough bread mixes and starters. She sent me a few mixes to try, and my family absolutely loves them. I made a video to show you how how easy and wonderful they are! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Probiotic Water Kefir Tea | When I began to make water kefir, I ran into a problem pretty quickly: what was I going to do with it? All of the probiotic elixir coming out of my kitchen just couldn't go to waste! At first I mixed the water kefir with freshly-squeezed lemon juice to create lemonade, but soon my family wanted more variety. So... I experimented with tea. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Homemade Raw Cheddar Cheese | They say this cheddar gets better with age. I don't know about that because we ate this homemade raw cheddar cheese fresh. For those of you without a cheese press, you can eat the curds fresh and un-pressed! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

What To Do With Soured Cream? | Today's question comes from DeDe: "I have some raw cream that's been in my fridge for about a month. It now smells sour but not quite like sour cream. What can I do with it?" I have good news for you! Raw milk and cream *sour* rather than go bad -- so you don't have to throw the out! Here's what to do with soured cream. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Grandma Mabel's Sauerkraut and Spare Ribs | Much of my grandmas' 82 years were spent cooking, foraging, sewing, canning, gardening, and baking.
