REAL FOOD FERMENTATION

Preserving food is an important aspect of food preparation. Food can be preserved in many ways, but perhaps the most mysterious to many and arguably least used in western cultures is also perhaps the best: fermentation.
REAL FOOD FERMENTATION is a hands-on guide to the art of food fermentation. Readers will discover that fermentation goes beyond the beer, wine, and cheese that we almost always think of when we hear the word "ferment" and learn that it is a classic kitchen skill set everyone can do in their own homes. They will learn how to preserve their favorite foods for every season by using their own ingredients, techniques, and additives.
Inside readers will find:

- All the basics: the process, the tools, and how to get started
- How to choose the right ingredients
- Making sauerkraut and beyond-how to ferment vegetables, including slaw-style, pickles, and kimchi
- How to ferment dairy into yogurt, kefir, cr�me fraiche, and butter
- How to ferment fruits, from lemons to tomatoes, and how to serve them
- How to ferment beverages, including mead, kombucha, vinegar, and ginger ale
- A primer on fermented meat, fish, soy, bread, and more
- Everything the reader needs to know about why the recipes work, why they are safe, what to do if they go wrong, and how to modify them to suit taste

In REAL FOOD FERMENTATION readers will learn a practical food-preparation skill they'll use again and again and to express themselves by making something unique and whole.
