Wild Fermentation: The Flavor,
Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture
Foods by Sandor Ellix Katz
Top Notch Book
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, theres 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.
Personal Review: Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and
Craft of Live-Culture Foods by Sandor Ellix Katz
I was needing to spend time in a waiting room at a hospital and took this
with me, to pass the time. I actually started to read it, instead of thumbing
through it. I really got what he was saying about how much we can benefit
from preserving with fermentation, as in way back when before we had
frig's, etc. I also was impressed with the fact that this is a healthy addition
to our diets. I really do want to get back to basics and away from so much
premade foods. You won't be disappointed. Also, the reviews that are
complaining about his homo agenda.......... That is flat out, not the truth.
These obviously are homophobic, rigid people that wrote the reviews.
They obviously use any avenue to attack gays and this was just another
way, trying to get people to not buy his book. He speaks of his Aids and
the community he lives in but does not make that the focus, by no means.
There was nothing inappropriate in this book. Many people speak of their
health in food related books and the benefits of certain diets of foods.
Enjoy. You won't be disappointed.
