review 1: So much more than just a recipe book. It offers insights into the process of fermentation, as well as non-fermentational examples for creating delicious creations according to traditional ways from all around the globe. It discusses the benefits of fermented foods, be it for the human body, as well as cultural benefits in the sense of human cultures as well as in the microbial sense. All this knowledge is imparted in a humorous, entertaining way. Katz's big book I will certainly keep on my phone for a while, to access it for further reference as I'm trying out various recipes.
review 2: The book is full of in-depth exploration of the processes and variations of fermentation. While not very recipe-heavy and more like an invitation to experiment (which is why I o... morenly rated it 4/5), the techniques and the science behind the processes are very well explained, and the extent of the book is enormous, ranging from the ordinary pickle, passing through alcohol, cheese, meat, fish, and getting all the way to non-alimentary fermentation like fuel or compost. A bible for all fermentation lovers. less
