In order to increase my knowledge of fermentation, I decided I needed to purchase a book.
I’ve browsed forums, checked out blogs, but I thought it would be a great idea to have a reference book on hand. Something I could turn to without having to be plugged into a technology device.
After much research, I finally decided to purchase The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Ellix Katz
I already knew I was in for a real treat since I’d read numerous glowing reviews about this book and I’ve seen several of his videos.
One thing you won’t ever see me do is work with the produce without wearing gloves. My nails are naturally long and even though I make sure I keep them clean, the thought of handling produce with my hands is something you won’t see me do.
Sandor is very knowledgeable about fermenting foods, and I look forward to improving my understanding of fermentation. Since I have also purchased a digital copy, I don’t have to worry about getting my hard copy messy. That’s important to me, since I like keeping my physical books clean.
I’ve been on a bit of a raw cookbook spree lately. Up until recently I had not bought many but now I am find a slew of them I can’t find locally or even thru Inter-Library Loan.
I hope you have fun with your new book and your fermenting adventures!

@Jennifer, Oh I’m already having fun with the book. I purchased the virtual book last evening, the actual hard copy arrives today. 🙂

It was the in-thing here once, everyone was doing it…fermenting stuff for natural enzymes. Haven’t heard of people doing it but my missus still carries on for a regular supply of enzymes for mopping and cleaning.

@suituapui, It’s a sign of the times, I guess… A lot of the old customs such as fermentation (which has been around for thousands of years) is becoming a distant memory for many, or so it seems. The same holds true with many of traditional crafts. For me, engaging in those timeless traditions is a way for me to reconnect with a primitive aspect of civilization that can still sustain, nourish and provide amazing benefits for me today.
