The Art of Fermentation: An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from Around the World, by Sandor Katz (Chelsea Green, 2012)
#INLINE-CHART#
Sandor Katz is a likable and charming guy with devious plans to subvert the corporate American food system with an army of food fermenters and an arsenal of the most delicious pickles you've ever tasted. His latest book, The Art of Fermentation, is the definitive work on food preservation. It is not solely a book of recipes (though it is jam-packed with 'em)—it is a thoughtful examination of how fermentation works, why it is a healthier and more natural way to preserve food, and what role it has played in human society and evolution. It is a marvelous book full of valuable—and beautifully presented—insights and experience from one of today's food masters. I keep it on my bed stand.
