The Art of Fermentation
is much more than a cookbook…Sure, it tells you how to do it, butmuch more important, it tells you what it means, and why an act as quotidian and practical asmaking your own sauerkraut represents nothing less than a way of engaging with the world… To ferment your own food is to lodge an eloquent protest—of the senses—against thehomogenization of avors and food experiences now rolling like a great, undierentiatedlawn across the globe. It is also a declaration of independence from an economy that wouldmuch prefer we were all passive consumers of its commodities, rather than creators of uniqueproducts expressive of ourselves and the places where we live.
—Michael Pollan, from the Foreword
