This is a comprehensive guide covering fermentation (with anaerobic-specific recipes) AND a wide array of nutrient-dense companion foods that make up a healthy diet. All the recipes are gluten free. Information on sourcing your best bets for real food as well as detailed, traditional recipes covering everything from bone broth, salads, meat, eggs, seafood, veggies, dehydrator to treats. This is a collection of my best tried and true recipes.

This is a conveniently sized, spiral-bound 6 inch by 9 inch softcover book that lies flats while you brew up your next ferment. This book will save you money. No more wasted failed ferments. Make you own real foods with probiotics and correctly balanced vitamins, minerals and enzymes and see your supplement needs quickly decrease!

You can’t compete with real living food when compared to processed (even minimally) probiotics. Who knows if the probiotics supplements are even still alive? Were they shipped under refrigeration? Are they just sitting there at room temperature in your home? I bet there isn't much life left in them….Make you own and feel assured that you are getting those good bugs where they need to go.

The focus is on anaerobic fermentation. These recipes will work with any truly airtight anaerobic jar system (except for kombucha). Each recipe provides a clear explanation of temperature, duration, salinity, and technique recommendations, as well as an extended Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section as appropriate for each type of ferment.

Traditional Cooking for the Modern Kitchen

Step-by-Step Anaerobic Instruction for Digestion-Healing Probiotics
Safe and Scientific Techniques (No More Wasted, Failed Ferments)
Delicious Nutrient-Dense Real Foods (Bone Broth, Seafood, Meat, Veggies and More)

Not What I Expected - Price does not match Value

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2013

Lisa has done a fair job of assembling her favourite recipes into a generally usable form. Spiral bound with slick heavy weight paper, this is easy to use in the kitchen. Where it fails is in its details - missing for the most part - and incomplete in other cases. The sauerkraut recipe for example - mixed US measures (cabbage) and metric measures (salt) leaves me with having to scramble back and forth. (This wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't declared up front that she would be using metric measures all the way through.) The instructions have me filling the fermentation container with brine to cover the cabbage - but, wait - what concentration should I be using - 2% or 10%. I could overlook this if she had cabbage in her brine chart - I had to go online to other sources to find that a 2% concentration would work. After the positive interviews on the video Paleo circuit, I expected something special. What I got was a way overpriced ($36.99) half-fermented collection of her favourite recipes (scrambled egg / boiled egg recipes, anyone?) (I wish I were kidding - see pg. 88 -89). Save your money and take a little time on the web - you can find complete recipes and instructions there. But like I said, the paper is nice.

Good book, price tag could use some adjusting

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this book on the high recommendations of a few people. I was hoping this book would be comparable to Nourishing Traditions, Practical Paleo or GAPS based on the price tag. I was highly disappointed when it came in the mail and was very thin. I thought it would be about three times the size based on the price. Some of the reviews talk about pictures and other than the pictures for each of the headers/sections, there aren't any other pictures...which for someone that is very visual when cooking, is also disappointing.

I do really appreciate the information on lactofermentation but other than that, I think this book is way overpriced. I would possibly pay around $20 total including shipping but definitely not the $40 with shipping that I paid.

I appreciate Lisa's work and time. I think the price needs to be adjusted as well as the book better proofed for spelling mistakes. With these two changes, I think it could help the sales grow.

Good resource

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2016

Great book with lots of great recipes. If you notify the author on her website that you purchased the book, you can download a pdf copy (with a code she provides) for your computer. It does have typos here and there - which can be a distraction or even a pet peeve for some (I get distracted by them but it's not the end of the world). Looking beyond that, it is an otherwise very helpful resource and worth it particularly if you are using a jar like the ones in her recipes.

I love the recipies

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 24, 2014

I love the recipies! But I thought the whole book was about fermentation. There were other non-fermenting recipies too, which I'm not interested.

There are some areas that lack some detail; fortunately Lisa can be emailed to get clarification. Not all authors can do that.

Fermenting foods is an art as well as a science, and Lisa Herndon really helped take the uncertainty out of the process for me. We eat fermented foods daily now, and our health has improved as a result!
