Wild Fermentation: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Cultural Manipulation (DIY)

This is more of a thick pamphlet than a book but the information contained with in has been top notch so far. I have tried a few of the recipes and so far they have all worked out. Kimchi, krout, NY style sour garlic pickles all excellent results following the books instructions. The basics of fermentation are presented in a very clean and concise manor that I found easy to follow, it also lends it's self to experimentation. For a first fermenting book I don't think I could have done better especially for the price.

Made my first batch of sauerkraut a couple of weeks ago and I'm still alive and haven't died so the instructions in the book works! The kraut is mild at first, after a bit it starts to get tangy and now it's got a nice tartness. Still crunchy with a hint of sweetness. The tang is very mild, not astringent or overpowering. SOOOOO easy to make. Make sure you get the glass pebbles to weigh the cabbage down. It makes it easier and less messy. Place a small dish underneath the jar at first because some of the juice will bubble out.

This small booklet is just about completely contained inside Sandor Katz's larger book on wild fermentation so you may not want both. But this one has the basics and is a very good place to start, and if you qualify for free shipping on your order, well worth it. Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods

This is a good introduction to fermenting. The full book is good, too, but this is full of basic ideas and recipes to get you started, without the political ranting and stories that the full book has. Both are worth owning, so I'd recommend getting this before investing in the book. Fermenting foods is addicting and fun, and there is no end to what you can do!

Simple and easy to follow. Several great recipes that got me started in fermenting. It's available on kindle too. I highly recommend it.

Book was a lot smaller than I expected but it is packed with info!

Great book quick and simple, keeping it easy for beginning fermenters!

IMPORTANT. Thia is an abridged "booklet" version of the aujthors full books .Buy one of those instead and get the full info. I wish i had noticed thiss before i purchased and read this.

Very small book with a few basic recipes. Some of the stuff I cannot get here. It does not even say what kind of a shop sells the stuff or could you use something else. Not worth buying in my opinion.

for what it is not many pages and not much detail in the doing of the fermenting but an ok starter to get people wanting a lot more

A great little book to love and use ! Full of practical information and recipes you want to try....and indeed I do! The result is a cupboard full of many strange and healthy flavours and colours too!! .....and me? well a healthy gut !

A small paperback book written by the master of Fermentation - it covers the basic sauerkraut, Kimchi, Water Kefir and Milk Kefir and other interesting ferments - very helpful little book with lots of information - a good buy

Small simple book. I need more detail but it is handy and original and explains everything.
