Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?

We've been experimenting with fermentation using whey to accelerate the process and adore the results. This recipe is less than 5 minutes of active time over 3-5 days. It's pure love.
This is one of the more interesting dishes we've made; this one isn't for everyone. The apples remain crisp but much of their sweetness has been replaced with a tartness. These will be great in a slaw for fish tacos or a chutney.
It's spicy, sweet and sour - and it's fantastic. Mustard seeds are ground before being mixed with a bunch of other ingredients - one of them being whey. And, like Frankenstien, they come alive... We're loving this mustard.
