What a joy it was to be live and in-person at KXAN-TV’s Studio 512 in Austin, Texas! I appeared on their morning show last week to chat with host Rosie Newberry and her Studio 512 audience about traditional foods.

Sharing Festive Ferments and Traditional Foods on Live Television
During my KXAN Studio 512 appearance, I demonstrate one of my favorite recipes from my new cookbook, The Modern Pioneer Pantry: Fermented “Pink” Cauliflower with Pearl Onions. It’s such a pretty and festive addition to any holiday charcuterie platter. Those cheerful pink hues from the cauliflower come from the natural fermentation process. They’re perfect for your holiday charcuterie platter, and they always spark a little conversation around the table!
I was so happy to meet Rosie in person, and we had such a good time in the studio kitchen together. (I had previously appeared on Studio 512 remotely.) I love every opportunity to share how easy and fun it is to make traditional, probiotic-rich foods right at home.
You can learn more about my visit with KXAN Studio 512’s article: Modern Pioneer Mary Bryant Shrader Visits Studio 512 With Her New Cookbook. I hope my visit inspires you to try fermenting a few vegetables of your own. You can find the full recipe in my latest cookbook, The Modern Pioneer Pantry, so you can make it anytime you’d like.
