Red cabbage kraut
This is a favourite ferment here. There is always a jar of it on the go.
Making milk kefir - first forays
Milk kefir is the most amazing concoction. Seeing the process in action, the smells, the changes in consistency of the milk is really quite thrilling.
Dearbhla Reynold’s tomato salsa
This cabbage free tomato ferment is adaptable, quick and easy to do.
Chocolate sauerkraut cake
I kid you not - sauerkraut cake is a “thing” and has been for some time. If we eat carrot cake, why not sauerkraut cake?
Fire tonic
I have been making fire tonic for my family for years now. I make apple cider vinegar myself and this forms an amazing living solvent, which then extracts constituents from the herbs I soak in it.
Vital ketchup
This stuff is a little addictive, but in a good way. It is great as a pasta sauce, on pizzas, mixed into a bean stew, a chilli or a bolognaise.
Fermented cherry tomato bombs
I get loads of tomatoes ripening at the same time in one brief, but glorious glut. Fermenting is a brilliant way of conserving the glut.
Beet kvass
I used to hate beetroot as a child. Which was unfortunate because my mother did love making us beetroot sandwiches.
Record-breaking sauerkraut
This is our Guinness World Record-setting Sauerkrautathon sauerkraut recipe. It is pretty special, even without that accolade!
