So much more than a cookbook, Sandor Ellix Katz's magnum opus, The Art of Fermentation, is a culinary manifesto asking that we participate in the protest against the corporatization of our food by keeping home fermentation alive. Framing fermentation as interspecies collaboration, culture creation, and a tool for community building, Katz aims to empower us by providing historical background, templates rather than strict recipes, and troubleshooting advice, allowing for a fundamental understanding and appreciation of what truly is the art of fermentation.
