Re: Fermenting

Lactic acid fermentation is not just limited to cabbage. We serve fermented carrots as part of a cheese/savory dish. Probiotic, etc, etc. Also, kim chee.....though that is also cabbage, simple cheeses like mozzarella and neufchatel, yoghurts, sour doughs for our breads, fish sauce (there is fermented fish in Worcestshire!). Fermentation was an orginal food processing and preservation technique that probably precedes fire. Magnus Nillson of Faviken and of course Noma use fermentation in all kinds of ways. Our fermented carrot dish was stolen from Andoni Aduriz at Mugaritz, by way of Jardin des Sens, so it is not just for hippies!
