Review:Years ago I bought Wild Fermentation and I loved Sandor's accessible approach to fermentation. He really does take the fear out of fermentation. Even though I had been fermenting for well over two decades I was inspired to ferment a wider variety of foods. The Art of Fermentation has inspired me to continue experimenting in the kitchen. And as Sandor points out fermentation is closely tied to the grassroots food movement. I am certain that this book will inspire many others to not only ferment b... Read more

Review:Dan Barber brings practical economics to a future where agriculture more closely resembles the natural environment form which it sprang.

Review:I appreciate the author’s honesty. She tells about her life after foreclosure and her experience with a few goats and an old cabin.

Her family maxed out credit cards and failed to pay taxes for several years while going on European vacations, sending her kids to private school, living in a big home, and... Read more

Review:Kinda incomplete, as at the end of book there are recipes and daily menu plans, but the things on the menu plan include items without recipes...so guess you gotta make those things up or find recipe yourself...which defeats the point of the book, in my opinion. Would not have bought this if knew that detail. Read more

Review:This book has completely changed everything I thought I knew about whiskey! I learned something new every time I sat down to
read it. As a professional bartender I found the information on how to taste whiskey extremely helpful, it has already helped me to
increase sales of bourbon and scotch in my bar. An absolute must-have for bartenders, aficionados and the occasional drinker. Read more

Review:In this highly informative and interesting book, Tom Standage chronicles the evolution of food, explaining how humanity's first meals were hunted and gathered by people who literally lived off the land and how a shift towards farming and a development of agriculture prompted the first civilizations to be built. As people and cultures evolved, so did food's place in society, and as Standgae relates, food became, by turns, a power to exploit, a wealth to hoard, and a very special focus of politics...
