Food & Ferment
Welcome to the Food & Ferment page! Use the drop down menu to browse sub-categories of your interest - such as sourdough, kombucha, fermented foods, or just regular old "recipes". The things you will find here, like us, are 100% vegetarian but not entirely vegan - but I will try to include vegan variations! We place a high importance on using organic-only ingredients. Whether or not you choose to go all organic is totally up to you and your budget. However, there are some recipes that require 100% organic ingredients, especially fermented things, so I will make sure to call that out clearly. Happy eating!
