# Fermentation

You do not need a five-year plan. You need one honest beginning and enough curiosity to return tomorrow.

Start small enough that beginning feels almost obvious.

From curious to doing

## Your fermentation roadmap

A concrete path from today to three months in. Check off as you go — progress saves on this device.

4 steps

- Mark "Make one new thing tonight" as done

Today  Step 1

Make one new thing tonight

Keep it simple — 5 ingredients or fewer. NYT Cooking and Serious Eats have great starter recipes.

- Mark "Cook 3 times at home this week" as done

This week  Step 2

Cook 3 times at home this week

Pick recipes that share ingredients. Shop once, cook through the week.

- Mark "Master one core technique" as done

This month  Step 3

Master one core technique

Pick searing, eggs, knife skills, or sauce-making. Repeat until you stop reading the recipe.

- Mark "Cook for others" as done

3 months  Step 4

Cook for others

Invite 2–4 people. Forces planning, timing, and presentation in a way solo cooking doesn't.

What are you noticing? What worked, what didn't, what to try next…
