  "The more I learnt about fermentation, the more I realised that nature had been quietly doing remarkable things long before we gave them scientific names." If someone visits my kitchen for the first time, they may wonder why there are so many glass jars sitting on the counter. Some contain bubbling fruit. Some hold vinegar that has been quietly fermenting for months. Another jar may contain a sourdough starter that has been with me for years. Nearby, they might notice homemade yeast powder resting safely inside the refrigerator. To most people, they are simply jars. To me, each one tells the story of an experiment.

I love to eat and drink healthy, for I believe "a healthy me is a happy me." With that said, my focus is not only on eating clean but also on staying active & kicking.  But there are several hurdles to staying healthy these days. Agree?  While we all talk of the polluted environment, with toxins floating around everywhere, the food we eat is no less adulterated either. Sigh!! There is a serious lack of trust because we are living in a commercialized world. No matter what the brand, are you confident their product is 100% pure? When we say 100 percent pure, we mean it is  devoid of chemical preservatives, refined sugar, refined flours free from fillers, additives, artificial colors, chemical flavors True, we are living in an age where purity is a dr...
