Nourishing Traditions Recipe Links
As I work my way through learning about fermenting and soaking, I thought it would be a good idea for me to have everything in one place. This way I don’t have to search through 100′s of other low-carb recipes that I have stored on Delicious (anyone have an easy way to categorize these??)
Lacto-Fermenting (read this if you’re wondering why ferment at all?)
Salsa-Urban Homemaker
Pickles-Many Hands Organic Farm (I’ve yet to make these, but I do plan on making Sally Fallon’s pickle relish this week 3/09)
Sauerkraut-Homemaking Homesteader
Kimchi-Real Food in Little Rock
Beet Kvass: Common Sense Homesteading: I just made this (2/10) and I’m drinking from the 1st ferment. While a very strange taste, I really like. It reminds me of a Bloody Mary.
Get Cultured eBooklet from Nourished Kitchen: nice booklet with different recipes for sauerkraut, pickles, etc
Kefir Smoothies-Food Renegade: No raw milk for us though, it’s illegal in my state. What I wouldn’t give to find some that would be affordable though!!
Green Smoothies-Sarah’s Musings: You seriously do not taste the steamed kale~!
Crockpot Yogurt-Janes4girls: I have been making a batch a week since finding this simple and easy recipe. **I have reduced the amount of starter per quart to two tablespoons rather than 1/4 cup she suggests. I find I have a better, thicker yogurt.**
Frozen Yogurt: Prudent & Pratical Yum yum, this is so good.
Kombucha-Food Renegade: This is a totally acquired taste, but it’s good and it’s good for you. If you need a SCOBY, shoot me and email to see if I have one. I hate to throw them away.
SCOBY for Kombucha-Food Renegade: You need this SCOBY to start fermenting the Kombucha. It took 3 weeks to grow. When I smelled the jar today before I added it to the sweetened tea, it smelled like one of those brewhouse beers!
Water Kefir Tutorial: Here’s my take on making “lemon-aide soda” aka lemon flavored water kefir.
Another nice page on water kefir benefits, recipes, etc.
Fermented Lemon-aide: Kelly the kitchen kop’s take on a fermented drink. I’ve yet to try this, but I think I’m going to make this next week. (5/09)
Soaked Grains
Soaked Whole Wheat Bread-Homemaking Homesteader
Cinnamon Swirl Bread-Recipe Zaar: I soaked the wheat over night and instead of buttermilk, I used whey, cup for cup. This bread was super moist and light.
Healthy Baked Oatmeal-A Modern Gal: I soak the oats over night before baking with whey & water. I think less water or maybe less soaking may have made it a bit less smooshy. The first time I made it, it tasted delicious, but this week, sorta soggy. It’s an ongoing process.
Sourdough Starter-Starter is working well. I’m feeding it a couple times a week since I’m using it that often. By Tuesdays I’m typically finished baking for the week, so he goes back into the fridge till Sunday nights.
Soaked Whole Wheat Pancakes-Nourishing Gourmet: I made these last week and they are very light. I need to reduce the batch, makes too much for just the boys to eat in a week. Though I could freeze them.
Sourdough Pancakes-Nourishing Gourmet: I halved this recipe. This makes 7 large dinner plate pancakes.
The Home of Sourdough: Anything you wanted to know about sourdough including how to convert a mainstream recipe to a sourdough recipe.

Yay! A few years ago I discovered that I have a sulfite allergy and, since its used in vinegars and preservation, couldn’t eat pickles… I am so tempted to try the lacto fermentation process! I am curious to know if the flavor is drastically different from vinegar soaked pickles. I so miss pickles…

I haven’t really had much luck with my cucumber pickles tasting like the store ones. IMO, they are not sour enough, but they do stay very crisp. If you can get your hands on some pickling cukes, use those, they have a better texture. Once I got over the “they aren’t sour/dilly enough” they really sorta grew on me.

Yolande, I do try to use the pickling cukes, they make a much better, crispy pickle. I used up some languishing cukes before we went on vacation and made dill slices. I’m going to open one this week.

Hey Paula~
I have been so busy with other things I haven’t stopped by in a while – you’ve got chickens and rabbits!!! Wow! Can’t wait to hear how everything goes come December. I’m trying to talk hubby into it … not having much luck
I was wondering if you had any contacts for a SCOBY? Nobody around here seems to even know what they are. And, now I can’t even make my own (ala Food Renegade’s method) b/c they’ve taken all the KT off the shelves!! It was good to drop in and see how things are going for you. Take care~

Elaine, I don’t know of anyone local. Did you try Ebay? I know they cost a small fortune though. Glad to see you. I’ve shared so many of the milk kefir grains as they grow and split!

I really appreciate having this list all in one place. Thank you!

You’re welcome Yolanda. I actually need to add to it. I’ve got a ton of recipes in my delicious files. Some I’ve made an had great success with, so I need to share it with everyone!
