I love this book. All the recipes are simple and many are fun to make and try simply because of the "old ways" aspect of creating, digestible food. When I first started fermenting, I struggled and in emailing Sandor Ellix Katz, not only did he respond personally and quickly, he set my mind at ease and paved a road for a love of all things fermented.

I picked this up hoping I could learn a bit about wild ferments as opposed to ones who need active starters. That being said, I was wonderfully surprised when this turned out to be more like an academic cookbook. I unfortunately have to give this copy back to the library, but I might pick a copy for my home shelf if I ever see it available. I haven't yet had a chance to use any of the recipes for myself, but definitely plan to.

Finally a book to give me hope that I can make my own takuan pickled daikon! Wheat bran! Genius! I shall fill my storehouse with fragrant crocks of beneficial bacteria! Kimchi! Glorious! Sauerkraut! What joy! Make all the beer! Eat all the cheese!

Inspiring read...and I have two things fermenting away in the kitchen as I type.

I loved this book. The author draws a few parallels between fermentation and social change that might be a stretch, but this book is a delight. The author is relatable and the recipes are fantastic.

This book was a library book that I borrowed but it's one that I'll buy. Great read.

The recipes alone made this worth the read. I love the idea of DIY food and alcohol, so I'm sold. Plus, some of the recipes are just bizarre. Chewed Corn beer??

I'll be buying this for sure and working through it slowly, if for no other reason than the Miso recipe.
