    I received a product in exchange for my honest review.ย I only recommend products I trust and use myself. ย 

    I recently received Shannon Stonger's newest book Traditionally Fermented Foods (Page Street Publishing) and am absolutely smitten by all the nourishing ferments.ย If you've been around long enough, you know I love traditional foods. Foods that our great grandfathers cultivated and our great grandmothers prepared. Recipes that have been passed down from generations to generations and that were made to nourish and sustain our bodies.

    These foods consisted of organ meats, various ferments and grass fedย dairy and were staples in the kitchens of our ancestors. Sadly that has become a lost art.

    Shannon is a natural whiz at all things fermentation. She's a regular contributor at Cultures for Health, a source of ferment starters and information on the art of culturing foods. Furthermore, her degree in Chemistry pretty much makes her an expert in culturing bacteria.

    The book beginsย with the basic fermentation process and why one would ferment in the first place. In addition, Shannon offers troubleshooting tips and tricks. Every section has additional information specific to those particular foods. The section on Vegetables is loaded with beautiful, nourishing recipes such as Pizza Green Beans, Everyday Spicy Carrots, and Basic Brine-Fermented Vegetables.

    The Grains section includes recipes such as Gluten Free Sourdough Dinner Rolls, Perpetual Fermented Porridge, and Fermented Polenta.ย Followed by the Dairy section which includes Kefir, Milk Clabber, and Cultured Buttermilk. I was pleasantly surprised to see Okroshka, cold summer soup. It just reminds me yet again how traditional my heritage foods truly are.

    The book wouldn't be complete without a section on Beverages which contain recipes such as Sweet Potato Kvass and The Pits Soda and Condiments section includes Veg Brine Fermented Hot Sauce and Cultured Dairy Ranch Dressing.

    Traditionally Fermented Foods is rich with information for both the novice and expert in fermenting. ย It's a great addition to my real food cookbooks, right next to Nourishing Traditions.

    How to Make Sourdough Starter

    In order to make these sourdough pancakes, you need to start with making sourdough starter. The best gluten free flours to sour are teff, sorghum, and buckwheat.

    Days 1 - 3: In a quart jar, combine ยฝ cup of your choice of gluten free flour and a scant ยฝ cup of water. Mix vigorously to incorporate air. Cover with a clean cloth and secure with a rubber band. Leave at room temperature for 12 hours. Repeat feedings with the same amounts of flour and water.

    Days 4 - 7: Continue to feed every 12 hours and discard half of the starter before very feeding. You can add the discarded starter to any quick bread recipe, crepes or fritters.
