Holly Howe, a.k.a. the Sauerkraut Wizard is a fermentation educator and founder of the MakeSauerkraut website.

Since her mid-twenties, Holly has been fascinated by the food she eats and its connection to her health. Holly was compelled to add fermented foods to her family’s diet after reading Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon, a book based on the diets of healthy traditional cultures and the foods they ate. A common thread among these traditional cultures was the inclusion of fermented foods in their diets, sauerkraut being one that appealed to her.

When she first went searching for sauerkraut, Holly found Bubbies sauerkraut at her local health food store and added it to evening meals. As her family reached the bottom of the jar more and more quickly, she soon realized her wallet would be happier if she could cut costs by fermenting her own sauerkraut.

And now, almost 20 years later and with hundreds of quarts and dozens of crocks of sauerkraut under her belt, she is helping others bring scrumptious sauerkraut to their dinner tables with her MakeSauerkraut website, local workshops, online courses, and now this book.

Not to be stopped with just dill for flavoring sauerkraut (the first flavor she made in her large crock), she has been constantly creating new flavors to effortlessly add the WOW! factor to any meal.

VERY thorough source that dissects a subject in an easy to understand format, with incredible detail and all the scientific research and background as to how it benefits our health & well being. Delicious, creative recipes that are time & taste tested to perfection! I've made several of the recipes and look forward to making many others because I know they will all be good if Holly has created them! Her assessments of each recipe are honest and provide the reader the opportunity to tweak to their individual tastes. This book has opened my eyes to even more ways to include healthy homemade probiotics into our life. Love how clear the instructions & photographs are. Takes so much of the guesswork out. I've followed Holly Howe's website/blog for a few years now and thoroughly enjoyed how much I learned from this extraordinarily well-written book. So convenient having it all at my fingertips now. Her formula for weighing salt has made EVERY batch that I ferment turn out just right. Holly is cutting edge when it comes to fermenting cabbage and is passionate about sharing her knowledge/expertise. Look no further...this is THE book to have on hand for any person wanting to learn how to add this super healthy element to their diet and for the experienced fermenter as well. We started fermenting a few years ago and have noticed significant improvements to our health and enjoy on a daily basis. I've shared Holly's ferments and recipes with friends and they have all loved them and have become fermenters too.

My wife and I have been making sauerkraut for years. We always canned it because we were afraid it wouldn't be safe if not canned. I have tried to make it without canning and had no success. This book is easy to read and very informative. She uses quart jars so if you have a failure, you don't lose much. The process is easy to follow and most people already have everything they need. I enjoyed reading the book so much that I read it in a couple days which is unusual for me being a slow reader. Her trouble shooting advice was very helpful. I have made two jars so far and have purchased a few supplies so I can make more throughout the year. I look forward to having fresh, healthy, fermented sauerkraut all year. I also receive her newsletters online. She has wonderful recipes and advice.

The method of fermenting in quart jars is easy and convenient. Living alone means that I can’t use a large volume of kraut. The proportion are already calculated for quarts so a recipe is quick and easy. Fun!

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2022

Here's the book I wish I had made mine when I first ventured into the art of fermenting cabbage and many other veggies. I knew fermentation was a superior process for food storage, but I wasn't so sure about why fermented vegetables / fruits / beverages had such a beneficial effect on my own health and well-being. Holly Howe explained so much, and I feel more comfortable than ever using the art of fermentation. I wish she'd write such a book related to the fermentation of dairy products... I do that as well, but it would be fantastic to gain the perspectives of an author I trust. Well, if you're hoping to learn this art, go ahead and buy the book --- really, you won't regret the purchase (the paperback allows for constant page-flipping and dog-earring LOL).

5.0 out of 5 stars Remembering how to ferment sauerkraut
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022

This book was simple enough, and detailed enough for me to remember just how easy it was to ferment food. I grew up with grandparents who fermented everything. When may children were growing up, I kept a large garden and canned and pickled what I could. For thirty years, I no longer had time. Now that I am retired, I needed something to do, and to restore my long neglected gut health. When I mentioned to my daughter my renewed interest, she said, "the reason I love sauerkraut is the memories of watching the process from beginning to end. It was like a science project you could eat." A lovely book. Well thought out. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone Can Make It----EVEN ME
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2018

This book is absolutely perfect. It took me from not knowing much about making sauerkraut to mastering the skill. This starts out where every book should start, with the basics. The author is skilled at teaching the science behind fermentation; the history of fermentation; the art of making fermented foods and then concludes with some very excellent recipes. It also amazed me regarding the many, many veggies that can be fermented, as I started out believing I could only use cabbage. Hopefully this book will open your eyes like it has opened mine and allow you to enter into making your own delicious fermented product. Now I do not have to rely on the grocery store; do not have to pay those very high prices for a quality product; now I know that I can grow my own food (or choose to buy it) and make these delicious, nutritious fermented foods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catching the "Bug"
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018
Verified Purchase
I became interested in fermented food/sauerkraut a year ago after reading here & there about its health benefits. (My husband and I have a few stomach/intestinal things to deal with & probiotics are costly). So even tho’ I now have some experience making a few of these sauerkraut recipes (Santa brought a few implements to make the process even easier), this small book is the perfect next step in my sauerkraut journey. Its chunks of information are clear, well organized, easy to read & “digest”. A minimal initial investment gets you on the path toward improved health. Admittedly it was an acquired taste, but gradually we have found more ways to eat it—in our salads, on scrambled eggs & quesadillas—until it has become a daily habit. These concoctions also make welcome gifts for those who love kimchi or suffer with stress-related gastrointestinal problems. The book is all you need: a reminder, guide, reference, reassurance, and gentle nudge all in one small package.
