Traditional Sourdough Rye in Switzerland part two
This is the community building for Erschmatt, which had been for many generations the communal village oven, where they baked all of their bread. It is still used as a community building for teaching and functions, and of course the oven. Susan was our lovely guide and baking teacher, and served us wonderful fresh mint … Continue reading
Traditional Sourdough Rye in Switzerland – part one
It has been a long time since I have worked on the rest of my pictures and stories from our amazing WAPF farm tour to Switzerland we took a few years ago. We visited some farms in between this rye village, but I will get back to those at a later date. My long distance … Continue reading
Purely Coconut Oil Dressing and Aoli Spread
How many creative ways are there to add more coconut oil in your diet, or sneak it in someone who would otherwise resist? Let’s face it, I have a hard time eating straight coconut oil, blech. So why would anyone want to? It is unique among oils, and takes a bit of unlearning if you … Continue reading
The Art of Natural Cheesemaking
I have just realized the fact that I have never understood, at all, how to make cheese, and yes, I own many, many cheese books, and have made lots of “cheese.” Thanks to David Asher, now I know the truth, not only have I never really made CHEESE, I know for SURE, I have never … Continue reading
Swiss Photographs at the Antique Museum
A very good photographer took some photos of Swiss farms and life in the Alps, probably pre 1930. I love these photographs, and this way of life, so much.

We were shown an old documentary on hog killing and processing (which of course I loved) and also how they make a fruit type bread/pastry called Bauernbirnbrot. It is a rich … Continue reading
Meyer Lemon Fermented Honey Mustard
Next time I make this, and I definitely will make this again, I will add more lemons. It is delicious. In preparation for the arrival of the meyer lemons I ordered from The Lemon Ladies I began soaking the mustard seeds in sour kombucha about two weeks before. Mustard is so easy to make, and … Continue reading
What a Case of Meyer Lemons Looks Like
I have to admit, when I saw the case of lemons I ordered from the Lemon Ladies, I thought it a bit puny. I’m used to ordering cases of fruit to use in flower arrangements, and those cases are big. This was 10 pounds, but as I started using them, I thought, whew, this is … Continue reading
Savory SuperProbiotic Sauerkraut
Probiotic supplements are expensive, so why not try and make the fermented foods packed full of the most probiotics you can? I also do not have a line out the door, waiting for plain sauerkraut to be served, so hopefully this savory one will go over better this winter. This article from Dr. Mercola gives … Continue reading
