“You can get tofu-like textures with any nut milk if you use the right processes.” [21:00]


“In salt-rising bread, the rising is not due to a yeast, but your good buddy clostridium perfringens- which is not the best thing, especially if you’re a soldier because clostridium perfringens causes gangrene.” [38:45]
