- Yoghurt, kefir, clabbered milk
- Cheese making (feta and mozzarella types)
- Sourdough bread
- Traditional bone broths
- Flavoured vinegars
- Chutney, relish, pickle and sauce
- Fruit bottling – overflow and oven methods. Low-sugar options.
- Jam alternatives
- Ghee/good fats
- Sprouting, soaking grains and nuts
- Smoothies
- Lacto fermented vegetables (eg sauerkraut) and drinks like kombucha, kvass
- Use of dehydrators (or oven) to make delicious snacks like Crispy Nuts, Chia Crackers, Coconut Chews, Kale Chips etc
- Garden salads including edible flowers
and low carb/gluten-free bread options
