PART 6: About the Author

Part 1: Introduction

My intention in writing this book is to introduce the process of making delicious, vibrant sauerkrauts in an easy to understand manner, giving you tips and techniques that I have used for more than 15 years of raw cultured kraut making. No need for fancy tools or equipment in most of these recipes, just chopping, dicing, grating and spicing your way to some really good fermented condiments. Here I share my top 12 favorites to inspire you with delicious recipes I have made time and time again. I love to play around in the kitchen with colorful vegetables, herbs and spices, making sauerkraut collages that, with a little time, merge to form savory, effervescent tastes and textures. When you eat sauerkraut on a regular basis like we do, it is nice to have more than one basic recipe. I enjoy crafting sauerkraut’s as a culinary art form, using different recipes every month to change things up and keep the taste buds happy with enchanting new flavors to explore and delight in.

Fermented vegetables, as I will discuss further, are one of the oldest forms of food preparation and preservation still made in many kitchens around the world. Here in the U.S. however, we have just recently discovered how to make real raw cultured vegetables from scratch without the use of heat or canning methods. Thanks to books like The Body Ecology Diet, by Donna Gates, there has been a resurgence of homemade sauerkraut spreading its way across the western continent and other nooks, crannies and cupboards of healthy kitchens.

I think for most sauerkraut newbies the desire to start eating more vegetable ferments is for health reasons, as they are promoted by many health and wellness experts as a superior food for the digestive tract and a quintessential food for reversing the damaging effects of a SAD diet. Although I am quite fond of basic sauerkraut recipes that you can find on most websites and books on the subject, I just want to let you know that you do not need to limit your ingredients list to just cabbage, carrots, ginger, lemon and salt. This standard recipe has its place, but here in this recipe book I wish to inspire you to take things a bit further and go beyond to create wild, zesty, vibrant combinations to keep things fun, interesting, artsy, but most of all… mouthwateringly delicious. After all that’s why we have taste buds, to enjoy them, right?

If it’s your first time making sauerkraut, relax and enjoy the process, put on some good music and cultivate a happy joyful mood. I am a firm believer of putting good energy into your food while you create it. You will enjoy making it and it will taste even better. The steps are simple, you don’t need to be an expert or have special skills. The basic idea involves putting together vegetables, culture, salt and letting the nature of fermentation do the rest.

If you are reading this book you are most likely not new to the world of sauerkraut or raw cultured vegetables. Although they have been around for thousands of years, many in the modern day world are unfamiliar with them. With much of our food coming from an industrialized packaged and preserved world, we as a culture could use more of the culture they provide
