Description

Know your kimchi from your sauerkraut? Your kefir from your kvass?

Fermented foods are now an essential part of our diet - they're tasty and we know they're good for us. Even better, we can make them ourselves.

Drawing on years of creative experimentation at the award-winning Ethicurean restaurant, Matthew Pennington and Nicola Cradock show you how to transform humble ingredients - like vegetables, fruit, milk, and grains - into vibrant foods and nutritious drinks.

From classic kimchi to beet and caraway sauerkraut, elderflower water kefir and 'peackles', you'll learn the basic techniques to ferment almost anything. Discover:
  • The remarkable power of lactobacillus
  • Why fermented foods are key for gut health
  • How to build a weekly rotation of ferments in your kitchen

With stunning photography Do Ferment will make fizzy ferments part of your everyday. Just grab some salt, a few jars and get started...
