Fermented Garlic

This has to be one of my favorite methods of fermentation. With hardly any time at all you can have a jar of fermented garlic on your shelf and can use it for just about anything. During Thanksgiving we used the garlic for mashed potatoes, for weekly dinners it can be used in stir-frys, in soups and with roasted vegetables, or mashed with butter and spread on toasted bread for an accompaniment to pastas. Fermentation soothes the bite of garlic to give a smoother, fuller fla

Old War Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut on a warm pastrami sandwich or enhancing the flavors of a hot bratwurst make for an excellent meal. Good for you meal and good for your gut. Probiotics can become something of a chore, we need them but like all things good for us, they require effort and thought. This is less of a chore and more of a fun challenge, change the way you see your health and add in color and a world of options. #healthy #homemade #fermentation #sauerkraut

Chili Sauce

This is a healthy and simple recipe to have a homemade fermented hotsauce that is on par with siracha or sambul sauce. Delicious in soups, salad dressings, sauces or just as a spicy compliment to a snack. Spice can be a delicate contribution to a meal. We all want to change it up, add a little kick to life and tango to our tastes but it can also be a daunting task. Making your own hot sauce is the first step into mastering the art of tasteful heat. #healthy #homemade #ferm

Fermented Carrots

Fermented carrots are a simple and delicious snack that can be used in dips or as a healthy treat that is both salty and crunchy. I love carrots. They are an easy snack to enjoy raw and a healthy way to consume other foods. Carrots are practically a gateway snack to a kingdom of meals but here they are elevated to a slightly higher profile. #healthy #homemade #fermentation #carrots

Limoncello: Italian Style

Limoncello is quite simply, just an amazing after dinner drink. It can be considered a palette cleanser, or a liquid dessert. As a family we've enjoyed it in various forms, even creating other dishes like Limon Granita and Limoncello Tiramisu with which to share with friends and family. The tart burst of lemons, the sweet tang of citrus and sugar soothing your palette and reinvigorating your senses. Limoncello is a delicious change of pace, all it takes is a small taste to

Vanilla

Vanilla is a timeless choice for flavor in cooking, baking or the simplicity of a good hot drink. I have been making vanilla for over thirty years. When my children were small I would open up the aging bottles so they could smell the rich scent of the vanilla beans slowly percolating. Growing up we would put it in cookies and cakes but I learned another application when I had my own children. On the occasions of sleepless nights and bad dreams, a teaspoon of vanilla in a gl
