Top reviews from other countries
Homemade fermenting food seems very far and difficult for me. The author provides a very detailed recipes and step by step instructions. You can feel that the author has real experience on the subjects reading the details the author provides. I enjoy very much reading the book and may try some recipes, though some of them are quite complicated and I am not sure if I am up to doing it! So start with the simple ones, and it is also very healthy to eat them too. If you are looking for a book to learn about home made pickles, this can be a very comprehensive guide.
As a beginner fermenter, I did find it slightly disconcerting when in some recipes the phrasing was a bit ambiguous, and did not always say how long it would last or whether it could be stored in a cellar as in days of old, or needed to be refrigerated only.
When I become a bit more confident, I look forward to trying some more of the recipes found within.
