Learned my lesson October 31, 2007 19 out of 42 found this review helpful
Well I learned my lesson in making sure in the future to read all of the negative reviews as well. I only read the one about not including enough meat recipes. The "Wild" part of the book is definitely his lifestyle. I was very excited to get the book and then very disappointed in the content inside regarding the "community" in which he lives and the goings on. There was too much of his views on his lifestyle and I could have done with none of that lets just get to the fermentation info. I wouldn't buy nor recommend this book just write down some recipes from a book at the library if I were to do it again.
Excellent book October 21, 2007 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is full of useful information on all types of fermentation and a lot of excellent recipes too. A great addition to my library.
Changed the way I veiw food! October 10, 2007 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is wonderful! Sandor Ellix Katz has a great way of conveying his personal beliefs on food systems, and how we eat affects our culture. I've been making many of the fermented foods included in his book, and hope to get around to trying to make them all! My friends all think I'm food obsessed now, but I'm completely enjoying myself and keeping myself entertained with the wonderful recipes in this book.
What can I say... September 3, 2007 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
I love this book, my family loves the soda, my brother wants my sauerkraut and I taught some kids who to start and maintain a sourdough starter made with the yeast from the plumbs on our tree. I can't wait to make wine.
The Katz Pajamas August 21, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love this book. Not only is it a comprehensive (and surprising) overview of how pervasive live culture is in the foods we consume, it also is a very helpful guide to making some of these things at home. The style is casual, friendly and the information comes from the writer's own deep experience. Although one reviewer accuses the writer of being "political", there is no agenda pushed here other than encouraging the reader to try making his or her own sourdough, sauerkraut, or beer. And, there is absolutely NO dirty joke on page 10, as one homophobic reviewer claims. If you are a DIY cook or baker, you need to get this book!
