Kristan Boudreau: I'm just trying to make the Fermented Lentil Pancakes for the first time - currently 12 hours into the fermentation stage (in a bowl with plastic wrap on top). I notice there is a patch of white foam/film that has formed in the middle of the top of the batter - is this harmful bacteria that needs to be scooped off? Has it ruined the whole batch?

SLK : Seeing that I'm unbelievably lazy, never in a million years would I have believed that I'd be making my own yogurt. Not only is it super simple to make, but it's absolutely delicious!! Check out this recipe for a smooth, creamy, sweet, yet slightly tart homemade yogurt. SCD Yogurt

Janice Cook: I'm looking to get into yogurt making this summer too. Can you suggest any good books or the best yogurt maker? We're in the research stage still . . .

SLK : I got into making yogurt because I was on a special diet to heal my gut. I could only eat plain yogurt that had been fermented 24 hours so I don't have any books to recommend as I just stick to the recipe I've posted. I can recommend the Yogourmet yogurt maker, though (available on Amazon). The yogurt comes out great every time.

SLK : After a month of eating SCD, which severely limited my diet, I finally got to a place where I felt comfortable (even excited) with the life-style changes and food alternatives I had to fall back on. Unfortunately, I just found out that I also have an allergy to eggs, honey, and many other staples that I have come to love and depend on while eating SCD. Between the SCD and my allergies, I'm now faced with the dilemma of "what on Earth am I supposed to eat???" I'll be sifting through my recipes again in the coming weeks to get rid of those that I will never be able to eat, and altering others. I'm also desperately scouring the internet to find new recipes to accomodate the diet AND my newly discovered allergies.

SLK : I have now started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) set forth in Elaine Gottschall's book, "Breaking the Vicious Cycle." As such, I've started labeling some of my recipes as SCD. Unfortunately many of my recipes are not SCD legal, but where possible I am posting alterations. Hopefully after a few years I will be able to resume some of my prior eating habits. This is truly a foodie's nightmare, but right now my health is what's important.

SLK : My goal with this page is to compile all of my favorite recipes in one place which I can access online, and share with friends and family. I haven't tried all of these recipes yet, but my plan is to make my way through each one and either keep it as is, put my own spin on it, or give it the axe. I can't speak for the recipes tagged as "untried" but those which I have tried are delicious!!

Matriarchy: I do that, too. I rate them with stars after I try them. Or at least, I try to remember to do that. If you use tags, you might want to have an "approved" or "tried" tag so you can find those quickly.
