Wild fermenting - latest 'soda'! Nectarine juice soda made with my turmeric bug starter. It's SO fresh and delicious and not too sweet either. I'm so hooked on making these, what juice next? I'm running out of available fruits! #fermentation #wildfermentation #nectarinesoda #probioticsoda
I'm now obsessed with wild fermentation (see more in alt txt!). On the left is rhubarb + strawberry + rosemary soda. On the right is a rosemary soda I started today, so in 3 or so days it will be bubbly due to the wild yeast on the rosemary! #wildfermentation #probioticsoda #homemadesoda

Containers and me at @massiasprout residency in southern Estonia for the whole month. Brewing, wild, fun, and mystery. Very thankful for the opportunity and the trust in the practice.

So lovely to spend time on the other side of the blatic sea.

My grandmother taught me so much about cooking, preserving, and making the most of what we have. Fermentation has always been part of our traditions—not just for preserving food, but as a way to gather, share, and pass down knowledge. It’s in the collective hangouts around the table, in the slow transformation of simple ingredients, and in the care of those who came before us.

Seeing her hold this poster for our fermentation workshop with @thebigbellysupper makes me so proud. It feels like a full-circle moment!

This happened on the 22 March at Casa Independente (Lisbon) an afternoon of fermentation, storytelling, and good food. We explore flavors, traditions, and the magic of transformation.

I use dance as a medium for listening better. For me, it is a technology of porosity, contemplation and enchantment. Sometimes, this quality of movement is observed and experienced in unexpected places: in a protest, in a warm embrace, in the darkness of a nightclub, in the magic of singing together or when a fermentation crock bubbles like a jacuzzi in the kitchen.

Super thrilled to take part to @massiasprout art residency in spring time at dear @massiaofficinale in Estonia. I will spend time with my research project 'Spontaneous fermentation: Collaborating with wild yeasts and revealing Massia's terroir'.
Basically doing some food choreography.
Looking forward to meet other participants and share quality time together.

Luckily for us yeast can’t help them and want to party like it’s the best rave of the century ! Gives a new meaning to the word “wild” in wild fermentation! Credit Skeleton Claw for graphics. #yeast #cider #autolysis #WildFermentation

There is a history in Turkey, Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia of making yoghurt with ant nest #microbiomes, either by leaving the starter in an ants' nest or by adding some ants directly. Some researchers recreated the practice by adding some #Formicarufa ants to milk and then characterised the cultures that were produced.

Ants can be used to make yogurt – and now we know how it works

A traditional yogurt-making practice from south-eastern Europe uses live ants as a starter, with the insects providing the bacteria and acid needed to initiate fermentation
