Fermented gingerbread ladies covered in melted 90% chocolate and zesty orange. . May you have a peaceful, warm and joyful few days: Happy Christmas!

December 22, 2022 by Ali

Previous PostAre your holidays stress-free? . We asked our listeners for what they wanted to hear on the podcast Christmas episode: . How can I not overindulge? How can I eat well when I’m going to someone else’s home? What good food can I take to with me when I’m travelling? What can I prepare in advance so I’m not in the kitchen all Christmas morning? How can I help my children avoid the onslaught of bad food? How can I have the Christmas I always intend to have but never quite achieve? . We answer all these questions and more in today’s episode, which we decided to call The Christmas Survival Guide! . If you want some tips to help you stay sane and well over the holidays do listen in. And if there’s someone else you think this’d help, send it to them! . You can download @ancestralkitchenpodcast from all the podcast apps or stream/download from the link in Alison’s or the podcast’s profile. . A very Happy Christmas from both of us to you and all you love.

  • First sourdough rye made from rye grains ground moments before in my new Mockmill. . My decision to buy an electric mill has been years in the making. Finally, the research I’ve been doing (on oats for my planned book) convinced me that I had to take the leap. And, thanks to @ellys.everyday showing me her Mockmill, there was virtually no question as to what mill I would get. . This 100% wholegrain rye tastes *amazing* and I feel so much more whole myself, having ground the flour in my kitchen. . I chatted to @farmandhearth about the research that prompted my decision and why I chose the 100 model on the @ancestralkitchenpodcast patreon-exclusive episode that’ll come out at the weekend. . Check out my story today for two clips from my course Rye Sourdough Bread: Mastering the Basics that give advice on mixing dough and share some fascinating information on bakers’ hand flora!

  • Oh how good to see those unhopped, home-fermented ale bubbles again! . I’ve not made ale since June. Italian summers are super-hot; t’s been 30C+ (not good for ale-making) in my kitchen and I don’t have fancy retarding equipment. How we’ve missed it. . This batch, following English pre-industrial measurements (the days when ale was made in a kitchen, by women) is, as an experiment, using a rye kvass starter. It’s looking and smelling good! . Check my story today to see how I°m using the spent grain for bread and to hear more about the batch.
  • Just handed the recipe for this sourdough spelt chocolate cake to the podcast patrons. I want to see how they take to it before it goes into the forthcoming spelt sourdough cookbook. . Meantime, we’re enjoying the last few slices of the latest bake in this rather decadent manner…I tried to make a ganache to ice it; it didn’t work, but the chocolate/cream mixture tastes amazing and looks really arty a-top the slice. Result :-) . If you’d like to come join the @ancestralkitchenpodcast community on patreon, and get access to the extra content @farmandhearth and I produce, plus a lively forum and monthly live chats, type the words ‘patreon ancestral kitchen podcast’ into Google and there we’ll be, waiting :-)
  • One bite, two dreams: . Cracklings from home-rendered lard on top of home-made oatcakes . 1/ A time when we realise to profound damage that industrial seed oils are doing to ourselves and our planet and re-embrace the wisdom of traditional, local fat rendered in our own kitchens (plus eat the crunchy left-overs!) . 2/ A time when local farms supply local needs and small producers can grow oats for the people around them; people who know oats aren’t just for oatmeal and create a myriad of dishes with them. . If you would like support to forward both of these check out @ancestralkitchenpodcast (we have a fats episode and will have an oats episode releasing in the next few week) and also visit my site (link is in my profile) for tonnes of oat recipes and details on how to render lard.
