Well the New Year is well and truly underway but I’m still glowing from our recent family trip to the Northern Hemisphere winter. It was my first, and I loved the cold…..once I was dressed for it! It was a veritable adventure, discovering familiar and new ferments while catching up with old friends and making new ones.
When starting out on the path of fermenting foods, an easy place to begin is with cultured vegetables, particularly sauerkraut. There is so much variety and you can start with something very simple and diversify from there, using: colours, textures, herbs, spices as well as incorporating new vegetables as they come into season.
There are countless variations in recipes and you can have fun in the kitchen creating your own variations once you feel comfortable with the basics...
