The Fermentation Deck: 50 recipes for a cultured life

50 of the most popular preserving recipes from around the world, from kimchi to kombucha.

Ever since Sandor Katz reintroduced us to the world of preserving with his best-selling tome The Art of Fermentation, the Western world has reacquainted itself with this ancient art form that has sustained populations for centuries.

The Fermentation Deck takes us back to basics with 50 of the world’s most popular and flavorful fermenting recipes, including recipes for breads, drinks, fruit and vegetables, condiments, and dairy. Learn how to make the perfect sourdough loaf or discover how easy it is to make yogurt in your kitchen. Brew your own kombucha or preserve that glut of lemons.   

With an additional guide for sterilizing equipment to ensure your ferments stay fresh, as well as beautiful photography of every recipe, The Fermentation Deck is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to add flavor to their food, simply, while improving overall gut health and reducing their environmental footprint.
