Does the book contain step by step receipes how to make sauerkraut and other foods such as yoghurt culture or whatever is required? does it also advise what foods can be eaten together and what foods are OK to be juiced together? Thanks Ann
Hi Ann,
GAPS Guide gives recipes or instructions for meat broth, bone broth, sauerkraut, fermented fish, ghee and a few other basics. If you Google ‘gapsguide fermented veggies’ (without the apostrophes), though, you will get better recipes for the krauts. GAPS Guide inadvertently left out instructions for yogurt-making, but as noted on the book updates page, you can find that here. Finally, GAPS Guide takes the juicing info from the Gut and Psychology book and presents it in a simpler chart. Generally speaking, GAPS foods can be eaten together, but from individual to individual, some people find fruit to be taken in varying combinations or separations helpful. There is a short note detailing this on page 48.
All my best,
Baden
