Adventures in Fermentation

Johnny Drain

£11.99

Imagine a world without bread, butter or wine. Without soy sauce or chocolate. What if we also take away cheese, coffee and even antibiotics? This is what life without fermentation would be like. Fermentation is so much more than a current health trend, it has shaped the world we live in, the bodies we inhabit, the staple foods we eat and even has the potential to shape our future. This text is a tantalising journey into the weird and wonderful world of fermentation, from its role in our evolution to the foods we love and everything in between.
