The Essential Book of Fermentation: Great  Taste and Good Health  with Probiotic Foods

by Jeff Cox —

Cox, a leading expert on organic food, delivers the ultimate guide to the new culinary health movement — feasting on fermented probiotics, from artisanal cheese to kimchi.

He has always been keenly aware of the microbiology that helps his garden flourish and has long known that microbes keep our bodies healthy as they ferment food, releasing their nutritional power and creating essential vitamins and enzymes.

In the book, Cox offers a primer on the body’s microbial ecosystem, complemented by scrumptious recipes and easy-to-follow pickling and canning techniques.

Basic foods, such as bread and yogurt, help readers progress to wine, cheese and a host of international delicacies, including kimchi and chow chow.

Inspiring and innovative, Cox serves up great taste, along with great health on every page.
