Lacto-fermented Cauliflower

 

Dari jajaran eselon fermented veggies yang udah aku bikin, ini my favorit so far. Kalo bikin ini setoples cendol sekalian. Tinggal goreng telor sama nyendok nasi cokelat, aman jaya sentosa rukun raharja. 

Coconut Yoghurt

 

Ini enaakkk kalo buat sayaahhh 😁✨

Meskipun jarang bikin, tapi sekalinya bikin cepet banget udah jadi, habisnya pun cepet banget 😆

Coconut yoghurt sama cashew yoghurt tuh solusi banget buat saus salad natural dan dairy-free tapi males ngocok-ngocok minyak sama telor. Kan semua jurus fermented food probiotics ini adalah jurus pemalesan sebenernya, ahahaha.. 

Cashew Yoghurt bikinnya basically sama sama. Tapi perlu direndem dulu untuk menghilangkan zat anti nutrisinya semua lebih ringan cerna for your gut health. Bear with me, nanti dipost juga resepnya, InsyaAllah. 

Sauerkraut

Jar-jar berisi sayuran warna-warni berjejer cantik memenuhi rak kayu. Itu khayalan saya, hahaha. Mengingat-ingat kehidupan Laura Ingalls Wilder yang ngepickle hasil taninya untuk stock di musim dingin.

Sejak Ramadhan lalu jadi hobi nyetok fermented veggies. Ini sih solusi banget buat ngawetin sayuran dalam keadaan mentah. Cucok buat herbivora macem sayah.

A Homebaker Again

I'm back to being a homebaker again!

The first time I jumped headfirst into this business was when the monetary crisis hit Indonesia in 1998. I continued around 2005, but being a food photographer took most of my time and energy, so it got sidetracked for a while. I never stopped baking for myself—to experiment, test recipes—basically for my love for baking and the happiness it brings to my heart each time.

I come with a bigger, bolder purpose this time. But let's skip the why at the moment.

I've been learning many things about being a full-time homebaker now. Watching Shark Tank for quite a while has given me loads of insights. Here is some wisdom I'm happy to share. Hopefully, it can benefit you as it has benefited me. Enjoy.

Gluten Free Banana Bread

Ingredients:

No-Recipe Chocolate Banana Popsicles (Vegan & Naturally Sweetened)

Some recipes start with hunger. Others, nostalgia.

This one started with a photo of watermelon popsicles on Pinterest, from some stranger who so kindly shared and inspired, and a random question:

Why haven’t I ever made these?

I’ve made frozen banana ice cream before. But never popsicles. And lately I’ve needed something snacky—cool, light, not too sweet, yet rich enough to indulge with. So this just... happened.

Didn’t follow any recipe. Just instinct and whatever was in my kitchen.

I threw in:

Frozen Granola Bars - No Mixer, No Oven, No Guilt

When granola started gaining popularity in Indonesia a few years ago, I got curious. Everyone claimed it was a healthy snack—rolled oats, raw honey, dried fruits. But then I realized: most of it was baked. Meaning, those beautiful enzymes in raw honey—gone. Antioxidants from dried fruit—toasted into oblivion. You’re mostly left with sugar and fiber. Store-bought versions didn’t help either—often packed with brown sugar, additives, even trans fat disguised behind a wholesome label. Oh, dear.

Then one slow scroll on Pinterest led me to this frozen granola bar recipe by Love & Lemons—and the rest is history. I’d never even imagined that granola bars could be frozen instead of baked. But here it was: simple, no pretension, truly healthy, and incredibly easy to make. Best part of it: No oven. No mixer. No drama.

Is it good?

It is uh-may-zing! Sweet, salty, nutty, chewy. Think caramel chocolate bars, but with oats and crushed peanuts—soft, satisfying, and kind to your tummy. I snacked on them on a beautiful, purply, slow afternoon... and again late at night before bed. Zero guilt. In fact—ahem—it helped digestion the next morning. 😌

Why I love this recipe

I’ve been baking since I was 6 years old, and believe me, I’ve seen how “healthy” snacks can be loaded with the not-so-healthy. So I made a few intentional tweaks to keep this one clean and honest:
