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.
Making water kefir - first forays
Water kefir contains around 10-15 strains of beneficial bacteria and yeasts. For us, it is a healthy and refreshing drink.
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?
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!

Radishes are easy to grow. And easy to pop into your mouth almost straight from the ground. Delayed gratification is a bit of a challenge for me, but if you can resist eating your radishes long enough to make this ferment, you will be richly rewarded.
