The Hawaiian native began her career as a classically trained chef; she can make pâtés, soufflés—the whole shebang. She got her start in Hong Kong, where she spent seven years first as a chef at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel before starting two restaurants. In all her culinary training, fermentation really never came up, even among the old-style European chefs she studied under. Read more –>

Carrot, Radish & Apple Ferment Recipe Shared by Karen Diggs of Kraut Source
The combination of these three ingredients is the perfect ménage à trois of flavors.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon (15 milliliter) sea salt
2 cups (480 milliliter) filtered water
1.5 teaspoons (7.5 milliliter) fennel seeds
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 small Fuji apple, sliced
8 to 10 radishes, sliced
Note: Total weight of the last three ingredients should be about 14 ounces (397 grams)
Instructions:
Bring the filtered water to a boil. Pour into a glass, stainless steel, or ceramic bowl, and dissolve the salt. Allow to cool completely (this is the brine).
Place the cut ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
Put the mixture into a quart-size, wide-mouth mason jar. The mixture should reach the shoulder of the jar.
Pour the brine into the jar until it reaches about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) above the vegetables.
Place Kraut Source onto the jar (or use whatever small-batch fermentation system you’d like). Allow to ferment for 7 to 10 days in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight.
When the vegetables taste good to you, put a top on the jar and transfer it to the refrigerator.
