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.

I had a great time reading this. My sourdough starter is going well and the loaf I made (kneading and all) was delicious. Haven't tried making anything else yet but I may need to own a copy of this book. I don't agree with everything the author believes but I appreciate his deep enthusiasm for food experimentation.
