Tim Ferris had a great recipe for this in the four hour chef you have to be careful because that you know that you can create some unhealthy ferment you have to do it the way he describes so check out the recipe it's online or you can buy sauerkraut.

Tim Ferriss's book, "The Four Hour Chef," was referenced in the context of vinegar being used to blunt blood glucose. It was highlighted that Ferris was early to the game regarding nutrition and skill learning, and some of his predictions regarding vinegar's effects have now been validated by scientific data.

"

Actually Tim Ferris I should say the great Tim Ferris because I do have great respect for the fact that he seems to be about 10 years ahead of everything in terms of nutrition and skill learning and things that sort many of the things that he predicted in his books. The four hour body and the four hour chef actually turned out to be true based on scientific data some of which only exists in the animal models but now also some predictions that played out to be true in both the animal models and the human models so I think Tim certainly deserves a hat tip for the fact that he experimented with these methods and reported his experiences with those methods and that now some of them many of them have been validated by what I perceive to be quality science.

Your books are so weird in the best way. They're not narrative from beginning to end.

Even when they kind of feel a little bit like those self-help books with boxes and charts, you are just zany in a way that reminds me, I'll be honest with you, of one person more than anyone else which is my mom.

When I read the four hour chef, it strikes me that you're a very adventurous chef and eater.
