Spoon Jar Kitchen and Fermentery
Recipes and ideas to feast and ferment on.
Sourdough Pizza
I believe the current wave of recipes using sourdough discard, sometimes referred to affectionately as the ‘daughter’, as a flavor/short fermentation agent is brilliant! I find that I can keep myself excited for smaller, afternoon sized projects on a more regular basis, which keeps me motivated to feed my starter on a regular basis. Recipes using the discard also reduces food waste.
Black Bean Garlic Sauce
As I was getting more and more into fermentation, I realized that Chinese ferments aren’t as widely talked about as those from Europe, Japan, or Korea. Homemade black bean sauce will not have quite the same up front punch of the jarred sauce, but will have more complexity.
How I Fell In Love With Fermentation
I’m an avid home fermenter, though I will be the first to admit that it took me awhile to get to this point. It took a timely gift from my mother in 2016 for me to finally set aside my fears and finally ferment. I haven’t looked back since. This is my story of going from a microbe skeptic to lover.
