How to Master the Art of Fermentation – Part 1 – Overview

How to Master the Art of Fermentation – Part 1 – Overview

In today’s vodcast, I give you an overview of my new Mastering the Art of Fermentation member series, where I:

• Discuss the general fermentation process,
• Address the differences between anaerobic lacto-fermentation and aerobic acetobacter fermentation, and
• Review how to ferment cabbage to make sauerkraut.

These conversational vodcasts are available to the Kitchen Pioneers who have joined my YouTube membership community—The Traditional Foods Kitchen Academy.

Mastering the Art of Fermentation Series

Upcoming member videos in the Mastering the Art of Fermentation series will include in-depth discussions of:

• Anaerobic Lacto Fermentation (for vegetables)
• Aerobic Acetobacter Fermentation (for making vinegar)

If you’ve not had a chance to join our Traditional Foods Kitchen Academy, please consider doing so.

Lacto-Fermentation Recipes

Making sauerkraut is one of the best ways to learn how to ferment vegetables. Watch my public recipe video to learn how to turn cabbage into sauerkraut using lacto-fermentation. You’ll see how easy it is to create this delicious probiotic-rich side dish for good gut health.

Once you master making sauerkraut, try your hand at making fermented carrots. They are tangy, crisp, and rich in probiotics.

And if you want to start making fermented condiments, I show you how to make a fermented ketchup that tastes just like store-bought. Lacto-Fermentation in action!

More Fermentation Videos

Have you already started making ferments but have run into a few problems? In the following videos, I answer questions from viewers about their different fermentation problems, including “Why is my ferment so salty?“
