Fermented Foods Book

Product number: 72990

Fermenting is an age-old method of food preservation used by many cultures around the world and it’s now undergoing a resurgence in popularity in the Western world because it’s recognised as an easy way to preserve all sorts of foods – and because fermented foods taste so good.

Far Eastern cuisine features miso, kimchi and kombucha (a fermented tea), Eastern Europeans swear by variations of kefir and, in recent years, artisan bakers have encouraged us to rediscover the delights of sourdough bread made from their carefully guarded, naturally fermented yeast ‘mothers’. These fermented foods are now recognised to contain friendly probiotic bacteria that many people believe help us to maintain a healthy digestive system.

Whether you’re new to fermenting and want to experiment with home-made versions of recipes that you’ve tried in restaurants, or you’re expanding your repertoire, in Fermented Foods for Vitality & Health, Dunja will guide you through a wide range of recipe options: from probiotic porridge to Egyptian Lentil & Rice Stew, from apple cider to ginger beer, and from salads, breads and stews to yoghurts, cheeses and cakes – there are more than 60 approachable recipes to help you to get to grips with this fascinating method of cooking and preserving.

This recipe book is not solely aimed at vegetarians or vegans, but there are recipes that cater to anyone interested in exploring these diets. After all, #meatfreeMondays are an accepted, and popular, phenomenon around the world.
