## Description

Review: Classic guide to fermentation, at times a bit overcomplicated. - This is a classic guide to home fermentation that was the first I got when getting into fermentation. It's a great book and definitely worth having and even now it holds up as a solid starting point. It explains different types of fermentation, like lacto Vs koji based and gives some history and science explainers about different types of fermented product like miso or vinegar which are really helpful when getting started. Some of the applications really inspire you to try going beyond saurkraut and experimenting more as you might expect from the Michelin star authors. After fermenting many different projects and owning the book for some years, my main criticism is that it overcomplicates some things. The explainer on how to to build a fermentation chamber is quite unrealistic for most people. My fermenter is just a cool box with a thermostat and a heat pad dangled in. I think when I got started the very Michelin star professional approach emphasising tightly regulating every parameter caused quite a lot of failure as I could never quite replicate their system at home. For example koji/miso doesn't really need a humidity control system, it just needs a dampish muslin cloth and to be kept around 30c for a couple of days. Overall this is an attractive classic for fermentation guides and has some really unique ideas, I still go back and thumb through it every once in a while and would highly recommend it. There are better books offering a better step by step approach out there but this book does give you all the building blocks you need to understand how to start fermenting lots of different things.
Review: Excellent - Very easy to read and very informative. Very happy with this book.
