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.
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!
