"Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods" by Sandor Ellix Katz (2nd Edition)

Sandor Ellix Katz revised "Wild Fermentation - The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods," the iconic book that started it all.

In this second edition, the James Beard Award winner and New York Times bestselling author brings a fresh perspective, renewed enthusiasm, and expanded wisdom from his travels.

Sandor Ellix Katz, a self-proclaimed fermentation revivalist, is known for his cheerful and demystifying teaching methods for preparing fermented foods. The health benefits of fermented foods are driving a nutrition-based food revolution.

Since its first publication in 2003, "Wild Fermentation" has inspired readers to turn their kitchens into food laboratories and ferment vegetables into sauerkraut, milk into cheese or yogurt, grains into sourdough bread, etc.

They gradually exchanged and shared, eventually building a community of thousands whose goal was to create healthy food for themselves and their families.

Katz's work has earned him the Craig Clairborne Lifetime Achievement Award from the Southern Foodways Alliance, as well as being called "one of the most unexpected rock stars of the American culinary scene" by the New York Times.

This updated and revised edition, now enhanced with full-color photos, will introduce the flavours and health benefits of fermented foods to an entirely new generation.
