Amanda Feifer's "Bull's Eye Beet Kvass" recipe from her book, Ferment Your Vegetables, has been nominated for a 2016 EDDY Award. Award winners will be announced June 15.
The EDDYs celebrates editorial excellence among nearly 90 publishers of Edible Communities covering the local food landscape across the U.S. and Canada. A panel of 50+ esteemed judges selected the finalists, visitors to EdibleFeast.com vote for Readers’ Choice winners from among their nominees.
Feifer writes about food fermentation of all kinds on her blog, Phickle.com. When she's not concocting crazy vats of bubbly things in the kitchen or ranting against the use of anti-bacterial soaps, she's doing what she loves most: teaching people to make their own fermented foods, from kimchi and kefir to kombucha and koji. In addition to being nominated, she was selected to be a judge for the 2016 Edible Communities EDDY Awards.
Here's the nominated recipe.
