  • About

Sauerkraut is a pretty straightforward lacto-ferment: the key ingredients are simply cabbage and salt. You can add a wider range of vegetables, like carrots or fennel, and spices, such as garlic and caraway or star anise and clove. This base recipe allows a lot of room to get creative, and I have added flavour ideas for you to explore as you master this process.
