Fermenting your own food is so intriguing. We do our own soya yoghurt from soy milk working with a commercial starter for the first batch. It isn't quite as tick as commercial stuff, but this means that it is also easier to make into a smoothie.
I'm as yet unsure about making my own sauerkraut but will be tempted by this book to have a go.
Thanks for featuring it.
