Praise for
Wild Fermentation
"While the recipes are plentiful the authors writing is what pulled me in and
captivated me. He is very knowledgeable on the subject of fermented foods
and examines them through a historical, scientific, and even a philosophical
sense . . .. As I type these words there are crocks of sauerkraut and bread starter
bubbling away on my kitchen counter, and after reading
Wild Fermentation
I
not only appreciate but also understand the life cycles of each."

"For those of us raised to believe that cleanliness is Godliness and 'sterilization'
the route to health, the notion that we'd sometimes be better off Jetting
microbes have their way in our food seems . . . well, 'wild/ Armed with noth-
ing more than a taste for sour flavors, and a decade of experiment that began
with salted cabbage, Katz takes the reader on a tour of praise for what micro-
bial biodiversity can do for foods and human health. A witty and enlighten-
ing romp with 'mix, wait, and check' recipes for everything from brined garlic
to vineagre de pina."

Booklist
"Yes, this is a good book for anyone who wants to know how to make kraut or
kimchi or goat cheese, but it is also a book for anyone who wants to know
about life, about how life works—how to enjoy it, respect it, love it and eat it."

ested in world food traditions, the history of human nutrition, and the
"whys" of good food and good health."

sionate about it."
Library Journal
