I use this recipe. got it off a different site but this one is probably better. It is really quite self explanatory. http://www.wildfermentation.com/resources.php!page=sauerkraut

That is so funny uli. Yes, the veges do fizz. They also have a sour taste. The fizzy juice makes just as excellent a tonic as sauerkraut juice. I followed the instructions from this site: http://wholesomegoodness.net/2008/06/10/cultured-veggie-tutorial-with-step-by-step-photos/ . The first few instructions instructive but irrelevant to an experienced cook. I used a simple whey and boiled water starter but otherwise the process was similar. There are a range of vegetable choices mentioned. I do grated beetroot and julienne carrots individually in smaller jars but also add carrot to my vegetable mix as well because in season, carrots are cheap as chips.

There is a lot on the net and super books around now - however this article may be quite an easy to read intro: http://www.herbcompanion.com/cooking/The-Surprising-Health-Benefits-of-Fermented-Foods.aspx

Here is link to fermented vegetables in jars when you feel you have mastered the easy recipes I have just posted. They take a bit more effort. I used whey, not the starter and I think, in future, that I will add salt for better flavour. http://wholesomegoodness.net/2008/06/10/cultured-veggie-tutorial-with-step-by-step-photos/
