Book Reviews of Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods

Book Review: A Down to Earth book on Fermentation for a Food Source
Summary: 5 Stars

The first part of the book provides some background, without all that scientific jargon of nutritionists, just plain and simple language. Then the book gives what it promises - lots of recipes and instructions on fermentation for all areas of food and drink. I have started growing a large garden and will enjoy many of the ideas in this book as I ferment my pickles, cabbage, beans, and berries, and explore the health benefits.

Summary of Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods

For thousands of years humans have enjoyed the taste and nutrition of fermented foods and drinks. We rely on the transformative, almost magical power of fermentation to preserve and improve all sorts of food, making them tastier, more digestible, and more appealing. Author Sandor Katz takes readers on a whirlwind trip through the wild world of fermentation. The book is divided into chapters that focus on particular types of food and Katz provides readers with delicious recipes--some familiar, others exotic--that are easy to make at home, including vegetable krauts and kimchis; sourdough breads and pancakes; miso and tempeh; beers, wines, and meads; yogurt and cheeses.

The recipes provide a veritable smorgasbord of tastes, like homemade tempeh, sauerkraut, and borscht, along with a basic description of yogurt and cheese-making, complete with vegan alternatives. Whether you prefer to wash down your meal with Elderberry wine or Nepalese rice beer, there's something here to satisfy any palate.

Katz, a leading expert on the history of these foods, has written a revolutionary and informative culinary guide he calls "a cultural manifesto." He has experimented with many forms of fermentation and has developed and collected a wide range of techniques and recipes from around the world.
