Winner of the 2013 James Beard Foundation Book Award for Reference and Scholarship, and a New York Times bestseller, 
The Art of Fermentation
is the most comprehensive guide to do-it-yourself home fermentation ever published. Sandor Katz presents the concepts and processes behind fermentation in ways that are simple enough to guide a reader through their first experience making sauerkraut or yogurt, and in-depth enough to provide greater understanding and insight for experienced practitioners.
