Yogurt. I used to make kefir but was having issues (it would work for 4 - 10 batches, then couldn't get it to work anymore).
Yogurt is dead simple. Heat milk to 180 F to kill competing organisms, cool to 115 F, add a few tablespoons of yogurt, insulate for 8 hours or so, and it's done.
And if it's a fresh, unopened container of milk, I don't even bother to heat to 180 first.
For the rest of it - my cooking has been DRAMATICALLY reduced since I started going carnivore (#382289). I used to make all kinds of things, one of my staples was home baked bread made with fresh ground flour
Now I'm done with that. I no longer believe that whole grains are a net positive for me.
I'd be curious - does fermenting the cabbage make it less gassy? Previous to going carnivore, I ate a lot of cabbage, and the gassiness/bloating of cabbage was hidden in the general gassiness/bloating of eating a lot of fiber in fruits and vegetables.
After going mostly carnivore, I ate one dish that had a lot of cabbage in it, and wow, was the gassiness noticeable.
One of the key secrets to eating is mastication. For carnivore, herbivore, omnivore... you do a lot of pre-work in chewing and if you gulp food, especially vegetation there will be gas due to the breakdown. Cheap cheeses do it for me. The cabbage smells like a fart in process but once the pH is right there is no gas.
The yogurt thing is very fascinating. We love kefer and the curd cheese with probiotics, too.
I became vegetarian, lacto-ova in 1986. I started reading labels on everything. Within a few years reintroduced seafood because my family has been fishing for thousands of years along side of agriculture.
My opinion on the carnivore is that you have to do the hunting, dressing and or husbandry or at least be willing to do this. I fish. I get fresh eggs from a dude I know. Milk, I need a better source and I'd like to get the raw cheeses.
I like the Bitcoin Beef initiative but I haven't kept up with it since I left Twitter. I read Weston Price's book from the 1930s on nutrition. It's an excellent study on many peoples' who have thousands of years of knowledge uncorrupted by "civilization".
It's a great book.
I'd like to see an exchange of food ideas and practices that are by hand. I would love to have the knowledge of the land mushrooms, plant medicines and such.
All I can say is thank you for your information and I wish you good health.
Maybe you could post your yogurt recipe in ~health.
I'll start doing some of my wife's recipes, too.
To circle back on grains, my theory is that the most produced food is the worst. That's factory farming of meat, grains and whatever. No reason for factory farming when people claim to need jobs. We need to move away from the cities and start cultivating the lands with ruminating animals, chickens and a variety of ancient grains and agriculture.
