ADVENTURES IN FERMENTATION (HB)

Imagine a world without bread, butter, wine, or even antibiotics? This is what life without fermentation would be like. Chef and scientist Dr Johnny Drain reveals how fermentation is so much more than a current health trend, it has shaped the world we live in, the bodies we inhabit, the staple foods we eat and has the potential to shape our future. This is the first book to lift the lid on the power of this ancient practice, exploring how it has been utilised in different cultures across the globe and how we can do the same. From making live yoghurt in his grandma's kitchen, to fermenting butter at the world's best restaurant, Noma, the author's fascination with the magic of fermentation has led him around the globe and this is the story of his culinary escapades and his scientific discoveries, along with some recipes.
