Review

"GENIUS! Americans are suffering from yucky guts and this book teaches us how to fix em simple and basic!" Joli Forbes, Bamboo Family Magazine

"This book marries food preparation and politics. What this is, gloriously and wonderfully so, is an instruction/cook book that very clearly tells you how to ferment and pickle every famous fermented and pickled food, from kimchi to miso to sauerkraut to capers. And like the fermented beverages that are not covered in this book (other than Ethiopian honey wine) this is intoxicating and addictive! Highly recommended for anyone with curiosity, tastebuds and patience." -Roctober Magazine
