Where to shop
Everything on the shopping lists is easy to find in Perth.
Asian grocer
Wombok, gochugaru, daikon, dried soybeans and nigari, usually cheaper than the supermarket.
Cheesemaking or brewing supplier
Rennet and citric acid for mozzarella. Online suppliers post them Australia-wide.
Perth seasons for ferments
Veg is available most of the year, but it's cheapest and crunchiest in season. Ferments also move faster in summer heat.
