Hi, I’m Kala!
I’m a nutritionist and writer with a passion for food that feels good to eat—and tastes amazing. I’ve been fermenting food and teaching about it since 2013 when I made my first rye sourdough starter. I was the owner and baker of a whole grain sourdough bakeshop, where I sold bread, tortillas, and cookies. I’ve taught fermentation classes on sauerkraut, sourdough, pickles, and more. I hope to inspire you to cook and bake in a way that nourishes your body and soul.
I’m also a mom who cooks for her family. When it comes to food, it has to be easy to make, nourishing, and delicious.
