The process of lacto-fermentation is the conversion of food sugars into lactic acid. All kind of food can be lacto-fermented: vegetables, fruits, cereals, milk, meat, fish, etc.. Through this process, food gains many virtues:

Yogurt and kefir are probiotic foods, therapeutic foods rich in lactobacilli that help the development of a healthy intestinal flora. But commercial yogurts have appreciable amount of lactose, for this reason it is not suitable for people with milk intolerance. But the homemade yogurt does not contain lactose  if the fermentation is well done and casein is pre-digested, so you can enjoy the milk. The condition is that milk should be both organic and raw!



 

To make this cheesecake cashews nuts are used instead of cheese cream. I also used honey instead of syrup to make it suitable for the GAPS diet. Served quite cold, it is a delight for summer days.
I’ve been inspired by the recipe blog “Penniless Parenting”

In Spain it’s called “Tarta de Santiago” and there’s a cross on it made with sugar.
This recipe can be used to do the base of cakes, muffins, tarts, etc. It’s a spongy cake that doesn’t need baking powder, it naturally rises with the egg whites that have to be stiffly beaten.
There isn’t any sugar, fats nor flour, only honey, almonds and eggs, so it’s GAPS diet friendly.
