What’s Inside

More than recipes now

This began as our sauerkraut recipes. It has grown into a complete little guide to fermenting both food and drinks — plus the part most guides skip: how to read what’s actually happening in the jar.

01Understanding FermentationWhat’s happening in the jar, salt ratios, first principles
02Vegetable FermentationThe base method, our favourite krauts & fermented rhubarb
03Fermented DrinksA living juniper starter and how we make wild soda
04TroubleshootingHow to read a jar — and when to let one go
05Your Fermentation KitchenThe few tools you need, and keeping a simple rhythm

You’ll be making:
the base sauerkraut method, four favourite krauts (Indian Spiced, Dill, Ginger Carrot, Beet Caraway), three bonus ferments (Rhubarb Lime Ginger, Pineapple Turmeric, Kimchi-Style), fermented rhubarb with honey & salt, and wild soda with a living juniper starter.

What readers say

“We make our own plain kraut but these all sound good too. Especially the one with dill and also the ginger — we’ll probably try first. Love all the tips!”
