Sourdough Starter
The sourdough starter is the basis for all sourdough recipes. You may already have a sourdough starter, you may be able to get some from a friend, or you could even buy some. But you can also produce your own, literally out of thin air. It’s easy, and it’s worth knowing how to do.
Sourdough Bread
My goal with this recipe is to make sourdough bread baking as easy for myself and others as possible and to help the new bread baker chalk up some quick wins and gain confidence. There are other sourdough bread recipes out there, and most of them are more complicated. I suggest starting with a simple one like this one. Then you can evaluate the incremental benefit of other recipes’ additional complexity.
Nattō
Natto (nattō) is a ferment from Japan made by introducing a specific bacterial culture, Bacillus subtilis var. natto, to warm cooked soybeans. Historically, natto was made by wrapping cooked soybeans in straw, which naturally hosts the desired bacteria. Today, natto is more often made from isolate spores (nattomoto). If you have a Japanese goods store near you, they may sell these spores in small envelopes; otherwise, look on the Internet. My most recent envelope of spores is Kawashima brand, purchased from thejapanstore.jp by way of Amazon.com. A 3-gram envelope is sufficient for at least 30 pounds (15 kg) of cooked soybeans, which translates to over 250 generous (2-ounce [60-g]) servings of natto.

About the author
Hello!
My name is Alex Lewin and I am the author of "Real Food Fermentation, Revised and Expanded: Preserving Whole Fresh Food with Live Cultures in Your Home Kitchen", and the co-author of "Kombucha, Kefir, and Beyond". If you are buying "Real Food Fermentation", I recommend getting the newer edition—it has two new sections and it captures some of my thinking in the 10 years between editions.
My interests include food, health and wellness, fitness, computers, music, and two-wheeled vehicles.
Some people struggle with microbes; I embrace them.
I have studied at Harvard, the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I seek to create a healthier and tastier world by spreading the good news about fermentation and real food. I lead fermentation classes and workshops in the US and abroad.
I live mostly in Cambridge, MA, US.
Kombucha is one of my favorite ferments. It is delicious, and after drinking it for a short time, one craves its tangy deliciousness. I believe that it can have strong positive effects on people's health. It is also extremely varied—there's a kombucha for (almost) everyone. And it's extremely versatile: it can be drunk on its own; it can be used in cooking as a stand-in for wine or vinegar; it can be used as a mixer for cocktails, including some excellent low-alcohol mixed drinks, like Kombucha-Campari, Planegria, and Naked Bike Ride (a Paloma variant). And hard kombucha is on the rise: it is less serious than wine, less filling than beer, more complex than cider, and more interesting than hard seltzer, while maintaining some of the health benefits of kombucha!
Kimchi is another favorite. Like kombucha, it can have strong positive effects on health; and it is extremely versatile, either on its own, as an ingredient in many traditional Korean dishes, or as an ingredient in things like the kimchi Reuben sandwich or kimchi apple cheddar canapés. It can also be a cocktail ingredient, for instance in a kimchi michelada or kimchi bloody mary.
