The Lost Art of Real Cooking: Rediscovering the Pleasures of Traditional Food One Recipe at a Time by Ken Albala

3.0

---

this book was a lot like wild fermentation, but i felt less interested in the recipes. it was well written and a good read, but nothing really grabbed me and made me excited about cooking. a lot of the recipes were also really similar to those in wild fermentation. if you're in the market for a book about fermentation and eating/cooking simply, i'd recommend wf over this one. still, not a bad book.
