A Community Recipe by Poemomm
I’ve been craving lox. When most people say ‘lox’ they don’t mean gravlox, they mean smoked salmon. Having grown up in a Jewish family, bagels and lox is the comfort food of my childhood. A few days ago I decided to create the elements for an authentic Bagel-n-Lox. This is as close as any smoked salmon recipe I’ve...

You could... but it wouldn't be the same at all. The difference between this recipe and other "sour creams' or "cream cheeses" that you see is the probiotics. You'll get a tangy, sour cheeze by using an acid, but it won't be lacto-fermented... and it won't taste really and truly real. :-)

Well as long as the bulk is raw. A small addition for flavor sake won't kill us once in awhile, right? Look at most of the vanilla's on the market. We do love our vanilla.

Dumb question time. Why is liquid smoke not raw? I'm sure it's obvious but for me and others who may want to know.
