  Okroshka (kvass-based soup) (pg 165) - this recipe may also be made with pickle or sauerkraut brine. I made it with pickle brine. It is a vegetable soup -- potato, carrot, turnip, onion, apple, cucumber -- with mustard and herbs. I found the soup interesting but not to my taste. I would understand why others might be more enthusiastic.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Sauerkraut

  • RosieB on June 14, 2014

    I was lucky to find a second hand fermentation crock and I made this recipe. I left it longer due to circumstances but it was great. We are still eating it. A good bit of crunch but with a nice tang and so much nicer than the bottled sauerkraut. There was no mould. I can't wait try some other recipes.

• Coconut chutney

    great with sticky rice - freezes very well so you might want to double.

• Sweet and spicy glazed tempeh with broccoli and daikon

  • clcorbi on January 05, 2018

    Yum. SO tasty--the sauce is perfectly spicy and ends up having a nice teriyaki flavor. I made a couple of changes--I used seitan crumbles rather than tempeh, and didn't feel that they needed to be steamed so I skipped that step. I also substituted sliced carrot for the daikon, and omitted both the arrowroot powder and wine from the sauce. Those omissions didn't have any negative effect--everything was delicious. This is also a super fast dinner and I'd definitely make it again.

• Fruit kimchi

  • ywgttw on November 03, 2019

    This turned out really well. I used plums from the garden which needed using up. It was very straightforward and it has all the tang and kick of a plain kimchi but with a sweetness. The recipe says to eat it quickly to get the benefit of the fruit but to be honest ours is now weeks old and is still nice and sweet/sour, just the plums have gone very soft. Would make again.
