Part memoir, part cookbook, The Kefir Cookbook is a delicious collection of over 100 globally inspired sweet and savory recipes made with the probiotic-rich and nutrient-dense superfood kefir. It contains stories that describe the journey of one of the natural food industry’s pioneering brands, Lifeway, and the family that created it. Author Julie Smolyansky, daughter of Michael and Ludmila Smolyansky, takes readers to the beginning, when her family escaped the former Soviet Union, bringing with them their love for kefir, a staple from their homeland, and the dream of introducing it to an American audience. Using kefir and treasured recipes, she weaves together a story of survival, resilience, and triumph — and the path to making kefir and gut health mainstream.
Julie reveals new and surprising ways to use kefir for healthier and more nutritious versions of recipe favorites such as Huevos Rancheros with Kefir Crema; Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Soup; Grilled Lamb Chops with Kefir Verde Sauce; Panna Cotta with Red Wine Syrup; Raspberry Chocolate Chip Scones; and so many more.
