Fermentation: How to make your own sauerkraut, kimchi, brine pickles, kefir, kombucha, vegan dairy, and more

A good read

This is a lovely book. I've been interested in fermentation whilst researching healthy gut bacteria. The shop products are limited and expensive so I thought I would give this a try to make my own kimchi and sauerkraut. The first couple of chapters are a must read, the author explains the different types of fermenting and the equipment you will need which is surprisingly little. I have enough storage jars at home so haven't had to buy anything. Having read the first part the second is a wonderful selection of different fermented foods and drinks to try and make, even gingerale which is brewing in my kitchen and literally took 5 mind to start. Its a clever, well written, knowledgeable and great value book. Way surpassing my expectations of what I can be fermenting or how interested I am to try the rest of the recipes. Excellent!

Fermented food is essential for gut health and therefore general health. My fridge is full of fermented foodstuffs. I’ve been making fermented foods for years and particularly bought this book for the kimchi and the pickled wild garlic recipes. It’s missing some basics like pickled red onion (delicious) for instance. The pictures are nice and, the book covers the basics as well as a few interesting tips. This is a nice book to introduce someone to home fermenting. Top tip - buy some decent jars for fermenting in. Wide mouth ones are best.

Really good book. We've already tried several recipes, excellent.

i bought this book since 2020 but never read it. i picked it up in 2021 and could hardly drop it. took highlighters to colour relevant parts and ended but colouring almost the entire Book ( the parts before the recipes). This ladies knows her stuff and her no nonsense straight to the point approach to writing makes this a very resourceful books. all the questions i have about fermentation was answered. i have been fermenting for a while on and off from watching videos on YouTube however she gave me the confidence to try out many recipes, use various jars i didn't know was possible to use. she explained the difference between fermenting and canning. differences between Veg/fruit probiotics versus the capsules. she even explained how to eat fermented food, how to store after making large batches.. which was a problem for me at the earlier stage of fermenting. This is definitely a good book to have for people who are interested in taking their health seriously

For anyone venturing into the world of fermented foods, this is a great book. It’s really clear and easy to follow the recipes for different krauts and kimchis as well as kefirs and other fermentations. And it’s a beautiful book to look at and to have. I’ve already made 3 of the recipes in the book and all have been successful.

Beautifully laid out and full of tempting and inspiring recipes.

This is the first book I have bought for fermenting foods and I doubt if I shall buy another one as it is excellent! It covers all the areas I needed it to cover with more besides. I have tried most of the recipes and they have all worked out exactly as I had hoped for. Now that I am feeling a little more confident, I have begun experimenting a bit with breads and cheeses, and this book has given me the resources to do that. I am a very happy fermenter!

I found her online, read her IG account and posts. Then I decided to buy her book. It is great i have made 4 recipes from her on my second batch of kraut, made also ginger beer, kombucha, nut cheese. So many others that I have to try. Will recommend for a beginner or advance cook.

It’s just perfect book!

This book is excellent! I like it so much I also bought it as a gift for my daughter. Åsa's recipes are easy to follow and clearly explained, the pictures are very good. And I love the recipes from my native Sweden. Thank you Åsa for a great book!
