True love is agreeing to try your wife’s first batch of (maybe slightly sketchy) natto... I was excited to make this for the first time on my own but didn’t get as strong of the classic stringiness as I would have liked. ⠀⠀ The smell of ammonia and earthy taste were all there but the beans may have been a little too dry to produce the proper stringiness that provide the classic mucilaginous texture. If you’ve natto tried it, I’d recommend it, but it’s definitely more of an acquired taste so don’t be surprised if you’re put off by it. Natto is a complete protein and rich in vitamin K. In a nutshell, it’s a superfood, meaning super good for you. And so much for trying to get an extra dramatic effect using black soybeans... I will try again, I will natto be dissuaded! ⠀⠀ #natto #fermentationispatience #fermentedlegumes #fermentedbeans #fermentationliteracy #guthealth #microbes #microbesatwork #happygut #fermentationwithoutborders #steadinghome #homemadenatto #kimchi #badpuns #foodpuns — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2UjYnAK

Trying to use these uncertain times for creativity in the kitchen... so yesterday I used my oat groat amazake from @kirstenkshockey’s Miso, Tempeh, Natto book and made it into a sourdough porridge loaf. ⠀⠀ I could tell by the shaping stage that it would do well as a sandwich loaf instead of a classic loaf so I shaped it and put it into my loaf pan instead. Sometimes you’ve gotta improvise and listen to your sourdough. After baking, I let it cool overnight before slicing into it. ⠀⠀ It was worth the wait because we had such a moist, soft, slightly sweet with hints of sour bread. Toasted, it’s unreal because the crust crisps up even more in contrast to the toothsome crumb. ⠀⠀ Baker’s %: - 50% Øland wheat - 50% bread flour - 50% oat amazake porridge - 85% water —> this high % and my liquidy porridge = why I had to make a sandwich loaf ⠀⠀ #bread #sourdough #wildyeast #tartinebread #homemade #steadinghome #feedfeed #ediblesf #amazake #porridgebread #amazakebread #kojibuildscommunity #pullmanloaf #sourdoughloaf #steelcutoats #oatgroats — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Qsa6uw

Hello, little bundles of deliciousness. Einkorn sourdough cardamom rolls from @sarah_c_owens’ Heirloom cookbook. Playing with sourdough in pastry is FUN and just makes sense. And the einkorn wheat in these lends a really nice nutty flavor that pairs well with the cardamom and cinnamon. #sourdough #wildyeast #homemade #steadinghome #eatwell #f52gram #feedfeed #thekitchn #truecooks #ediblesf #procrastibaking #cinnamonrolls #sourdoughcinnamonrolls #cardamomrolls #heirloomcookbook — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/39YsSlc

Cabbage counts as a food group, right? While I don’t discriminate in how I consume it, I tend to like it “cooked”, whether it’s braised in the oven or weeks fermenting. Here is @andybaraghani’s melt in your mouth cabbage after charring and then braising in a tomato-y sauce (and yes I made two pans bc I knew one would not be enough). . . #steadinghome #braisedcabbage #bonappetit #dailyfoodfeed #delicious #eater #eeeeeats #feedfeed #forkyeah #onthetable #tastemade #f52gram #eatwell #cabbage #cookedcabbage #dinner — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2SHxfe1

Sweat it out! I like to do my vegetable ferments a bit slower if it saves my hands in the long run. Time permitting, I salt the cabbage and vegetables, toss them, and leave them to weep for a few hours before packing them into my crock. In this case after 36 hours the vegetables were completely submerged in their own brine and my hands didn’t hurt. ⠀⠀ Also taking advantage of the season’s incredibly beautiful produce with watermelon radish, daikon, carrot, and cabbage kraut. #steadinghome #tastemade #dailyfoodfeed #eater #eeeeeats #feedfeed #veganfriendly #healthyfood #fermentation #fermented #livecultures #diy #wildyeast #ediblesf #wildfermentation #fansoffermentation #myfermentation #flashyourferment #fermenteverything #fermentationstation #sauerkraut #kraut #sweatitout — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/31zryBy

Kombucha and jun slug along in our house this time of year but am trying to get them more excited in secondary with some fresh pulpy juice. From left to right: 🥝 pulp/cilantro, fennel/celery infusion, 🥝 pulp, 🥕 pulp and hibiscus, and elderberry/hibiscus/kaffir lime infusion. ⠀⠀ Having fun playing with flavors and direct bottle carbonation vs infusing and straining into bottles in two steps. I love hibiscus for its color infusing properties (more than the actual flavor) and am hoping it will make for a richer, rubier carrot color! The kiwi wasn’t as vibrant as I was hoping but I think it will still be tasty. #steadinghome #tastemade #dailyfoodfeed #eater #eeeeeats #feedfeed #fermentation #fermented #livecultures #ediblesf #wildfermentation #fansoffermentation #myfermentation #flashyourferment #fermentationstation #kombucha #scoby #kombuchaflavors #homemadekombucha #foodismedicine #kombuchalife #kiwikombucha #kiwi #carrot #jun — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2TXr9Y0

Maple rosemary granola is hitting all the moods. Here’s a pre-bake close up for you to hopefully get there with me. Basically the usual granola recipe plus 2.5-3 T chopped rosemary and it’s 👌. ⠀⠀ #steadinghome #granola #maplesyrup #maplerosemary #breakfast #breakfastideas #easyrecipes #feedfeed #food52grams #eatwell #rosemary #backyardharvest — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/36iAXyb

This kimchi has horseradish in it from sort of an unintentional purchase but makes sense given my Eastern European roots 😉. Loving the extra spicy kick and that no two kimchi batches are alike. #steadinghome #tastemade #dailyfoodfeed #eater #eeeeeats #feedfeed #veganfriendly #healthyfood #fermentation #fermented #livecultures #diy #wildyeast #ediblesf #wildfermentation #fansoffermentation #myfermentation #flashyourferment #fermentationstation #kimchi #bokchoykimchi #horseradish — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/38ttnCD

Lots of sourdough this week: 2 classes at @preservedgoods so naturally wanted to sneak in time for my own loaves. Made light rye, lemon, garden herb loaves and the smell and taste are just perfect. Earthiness from the rye, rosemary on the nose and a little zest of lemon if you get the right bite! #bread #sourdough #wildyeast #tartinebread #homemade #diy #steadinghome #eatwell #f52gram #feedfeed #thekitchn #truecooks #ediblesf #preservedgoods #rosemarysourdough — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/30qGFwP

Did I mention soup season was in full effect? Every other night seems like we’re dishing up a warm and soothing soup to fend off these winter rains. Coconut curry chicken soup from @nytcooking pictured here with homemade red curry paste because once you make your own paste you can’t go back. ⠀⠀ #steadinghome #coconutcurrysoup #nytcooking #currymee #homemade #currypaste #comfortfood #soupseason #friedgarlic — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Q0fDrj

Don’t think I can’t eat all of the chocolate I made this week (not all pictured!). One of the reasons I started making it is because I couldn’t afford to keep buying $8+ bars! I don’t know if it’s more satisfying to consume the products you make, but I’m pretty content with this chocolate from Madagascar (a favorite origin) 😋. Thanks as always to @chocolatealchemy for providing the beans and such a great selection and such great resources on chocolate making! ⠀⠀ #chocolatemaking #steadinghome #chocolatealchemy #madagascarchocolate #cacao #cacaobeans #homemadechocolate #beantobar #beantobarchocolate #temperchocolate #chocolatebar #jstreats #darkchocolate #craftchocolate #chocolatemaker #singleoriginchocolate #veganchocolate #ediblesf #handmadechocolate — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2RQw8IU

I was so excited to make koji I didn’t exactly plan what I’d be making next with it... should I make miso, amazake, sake...?? I’m dehydrating some of it so I don’t have to decide what to do with all of it now but suggestions welcome! Also, yes, it was stressful to make (maintaining a temperature between 80-95 F isn’t easy), but can’t wait to dive deeper and experiment out of the box now! #koji #kojibuildscommunity #steadinghome #mold #livecultures #fansoffermentation #myfermentation #flashyourferment #ricekoji #miso #amazake #sake #aspergillusoryzae — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2REGcov
