Fermented Food Adventures & Recipes
Apparently, even some of the best jerky experiments can begin with a grocery-store mistake. I originally ordered a New York strip and somehow ended up with a flank steak instead. Although I love making carne asada (I’ll share my recipe some time) and some other dishes with this cut, this […]
My love affair with pickled cherry peppers began at Antico Pizza in Midtown Atlanta (there’s a little free advertising lol)—where the heat was playful, the sweetness bold, and the flavor unforgettable. I’ve since found these peppers tucked into charcuterie boards and antipasto platters at Italian restaurants, always adding that perfect […]
Are these jangajji-style senfgurken or senfgurken-style jangajji? Hard to say—and honestly, it doesn’t matter! One bite and the labels fall away. What’s left is a pickle that’s bold, umami, and oh so satisfying. Pickling has always been a clever way to stretch the harvest and add a punch of flavor […]

I had a super crisp, firm, delicious watermelon the other day, and I was thinking the rind on it must be one of the best. So I saved them and couldn’t immediately decide on any number of ways I might want to pickle them. I was very tempted to use […]
I had been having a serious craving for a Po’ Boy sandwich recently, so I decided to go full force at it, including making my own remoulade (the accompanying sauce/dressing) and being sure to include lots of my homemade garlic dill pickles in both the sandwich and the remoulade. For […]
Torshi – Persian for “sour” and referring to pickled vegetables – are so popular in Iran that a meal literally isn’t complete without them. This love of soured goods is ubiquitous all over the Middle East; variations can be found not just from country to country and city to city […]
Although sauerruben (fermented turnip) is far less known in the US than sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), it is a delicious and very healthy alternative. It has a fairly similar taste (and pungent smell!) as well, although turnips have notes of horseradish, radish, and other flavors, which might make this ferment even […]
