Friends, let me introduce you to my brand new digital recipe book, Plant Based Firmets.

15. Must Have Recipes that will take your fermented food game to the next level.

Nourishing your microbiome and saving you dollars on your grocery bill at the same time.

Why eat fermented foods?

Well, research shows that regular consumption of fermented foods lowers inflammation in the body.

The type of inflammation that underpins and exacerbates chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's dementia.

Inside Plant Based Firmets is 15 recipes, including my very own soy yogurt and soy labne.

A delicious cold brew, kefir smoothie, and my baked miso egg plant and soba noodle salad.
