Download or read book The Kefir Cookbook written by Julie Smolyansky and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 100 globally-inspired sweet and savory recipes made with one of the most probiotic-rich and nutrient-dense superfoods on the planet Derived from the Turkish word “keif” meaning “feeling good,” kefir is a tart, tangy cultured milk, low in sugar and lactose free, and an excellent source of protein, calcium, and B vitamins. Originating from a grain that dates back two thousand years to the Caucasus Mountains of Europe, it is also one of the healthiest natural foods available—scientifically shown to help boost immunity, improve gut health, build bone density, fight allergies, and aid the body’s natural detoxification. In 1986, ten years after they emigrated from Kiev, Michael and Ludmila Smolyansky introduced kefir to America. Today their children, Julie and Edward, lead Lifeway Foods Inc., the Smolyansky family company and the top-selling kefir brand in America. In The Kefir Cookbook, Julie shares her family’s abiding love of kefir through treasured family stories and innovative recipes. From Ludmila’s Borscht, a staple of life behind the Iron Curtain, to Nutella Smoothies, a homage to the Rome that welcomed them as refugees, and Kefir Jerk Chicken, a celebration of friendship experienced with her young daughters, these dishes showcase the versatility of this ancient healing food. While kefir can be drunk straight from the bottle, whipped into smoothies, or used in parfaits and smoothie bowls, Julie reveals in more than 100 recipes—including contributions by Christy Turlington Burns, Seamus Mullen, and Katrina Markoff—how it can also be blended with your favorite comfort foods to add tang, boost creaminess, and elevate their nutritional properties. Deeply personal, The Kefir Cookbook offers unique spins on classic recipes, while introducing contemporary flavors and textures to inspire you in the kitchen every day.

Water kefir merupakan minuman fermentasi dengan rasa yang sedikit asam. Umumnya water kefir diproduksi dengan memfermentasi larutan sukrosa yang ditambahkan buah-buahan segar atau kering menggunakan starter water kefir grain. Starter ini terdiri dari matriks polisakarida (terutama dekstran, dan sedikit fruktan) yang merupakan habitat hidup bagi mikroorganisme kefir (bakteri asam laktat, bakteri asam asetat dan yeast). Perbedaan utamanya dari kefir susu adalah water kefir diproduksi tanpa menggunakan susu sebagai medium fermentasinya. Dengan demikian, jenis gula yang dimanfaatkan oleh mikroorganisme pada kedua produk juga berbeda, misalnya pada water kefir memanfaatkan sukrosa sedangkan pada milk kefir memanfaatkan laktosa. Selanjutnya, buku ini juga menyajikan tentang keragaman mikrobiota yang terdapat pada water kefir grains, metode produksi serta komersialisasi water kefir. Interaksi metabolik yang terjadi pada water kefir termasuk dibahas didalam buku ini. Selain itu juga didukung informasi terkait keamanan pangan pada water kefir serta manfaatnya bagi kesehatan. Buku ini dirangkum dari berbagai sumber terkini yaitu dari hasil penelitian penulis serta artikel jurnal internasional.
