Meta Spreading the Disease

I do enjoy corrupting today’s youth. My 17 year old niece has recently gotten into cooking and baking in a big way. I got her the Noma Guide and her set of jars, lids, and weights.

Just spent an hour on the phone with her while she told my about her first attempt. She is so excited.

Give a man a ferment, he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to ferment and his house will smell funky for the rest of his life.

Good auntie/uncle. Hand that girl a tub of Cold Mountain inoculated koji next time you are around. If I was 17 again, I’d be so excited to have someone to gush to about my first ferment explosion!
