Class #230 – Fermentation Techniques & Tools Part 2 – Dry Brining & Blending Fermented Hot Sauce

As I prepared my breakfast and thought through the upcoming week I was struck by how much has changed since I joined PD 9 months and 3 days ago. On my counter there are jars filled with baked crackers, cereals, ready-to-go-mixes, toasted grains, ferments and sprouts. My fridge holds quarts of thick soy yogurt, brewed… Read more or comment “Thank You!”

I had even tried being vegan for a time but found it difficult due to lack of recipes. In November of 2014, I met with a… Read more or comment “PD Changed My Life!”
