Description
When Julie Smolyansky's parents immigrated from the Soviet Union to America in 1976, they left behind the beloved drink so many Eastern Europeans relied on to keep themselves healthy. Kefir was nowhere to be found in the states back then, and by 1985, her father had built an edible laboratory in the basement of their house, to perfect his own kefir recipe. He’d go on to start Lifeway Foods a year later, and introduce Americans to kefir for the first time.
To Julie's parents, kefir represented comfort, wellness, and a sense of home, and she continues that tradition as the current CEO of Lifeway Foods. Drawing on her family’s story and culinary inspiration from around the world in THE KEFIR COOKBOOK, Julie shares over 100 sweet and savory kefir-based recipes, including some of her family’s most treasured dishes. You’ll find new and surprising ways to use kefir for healthier and more nutritious recipes, like 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.
