You need: Whole unpeeled garlic bulbs, Roasting bag / foil, Rice cooker.
Place the whole bulbs into a roasting bag and seal it loosely.
Put the bag in your rice cooker and switch it to keep warm.

YOUR ADS MAKE MY EYES BLEED.
Too many Dubai designs still look stuck in the early 2000s — rushed, cluttered, and overdone. Not a lack of creativity, but of training and taste. In a city built on innovation, visual design should feel future, not flashback.

Just wrapped an amazing fermentation workshop in Dubai with Sharon Flynn (the author of Wild Drinks and Ferment For Good) for Campari Red Hands.
We explored ginger bugs, water kefir, amazake sodas & kvass — proving that complex, probiotic drinks can be low-cost, high-impact, and full of life!

Some ginger bug action. Ever wondered how to ferment any probiotic-rich soda? Just add a tad of ginger bug!

Posted a detailed recipe on my website cosmos-society.com

Two different ways of serving Jiu Niang: just hot with rice balls (Chengdu) and with pepper, egg, and goji berry (Changsha).

Working on the new menu featuring jiu niang – a complex ferment that is produced by the combination of yeast and molds (both Aspergillus and Rhizopus).
