About Bill

Dr. Bill Schindler is a food archaeologist, primitive technologist and chef. He travels the world with his family documenting traditional food ways and works to draw inspiration from the deep archaeological record, rich and diverse ethnographic record and modern culinary world to create food solutions that are relevant, meaningful and accessible in our modern lives. He shares all these stories in his book, Eat Like a Human, and puts the recipes into practice at his family’s Modern Stone Age Kitchen in Chestertown, Maryland.

ACQUIRING STARTERS WITH NEIL BARRETT

Chef Neil Barrett in my new kitchen at Airfield Estates in Ireland generously sharing his cultures. He is holding jun, a kombucha that feeds off of honey instead of sugar – I can’t wait! 

It took a week but I was finally able to replace most of my cultures here in Ireland! Chef Neil Barrett was generous enough to share his sourdough mother, kefir, jun (a kombucha SCOBY that feeds off of honey), and vilili (a traditional heirloom Finnish yogurt). Thanks, Neil for helping me keep my family’s gut flora healthy!!!

We have been able to enjoy this yogurt every morning for breakfast with a little honey and fresh fruit, plus some homemade granola.  

Here is my first vilii yogurt! This traditional Finnish heirloom yogurt is mesophyllic so is cultures at room temperature!!!
