  • A wikipedia about fermentation.

    A great book for anyone wanting to learn about fermentation, not a recipe book and not easy going at times.....but for someone who wants to know what it's ALL about it's a Bible.

    Disconnection with our food and its processes has lead to widespread poor health, especially in the areas of nutrition and digestion. The war on nature has included a war on microbes. This important book shows how to reclaim our beneficial coexistence with the microscopic world and make great tasting, healthy beverages and foods.
