A Year of Fermentation

A Year of Fermentation is a comprehensive seasonal guide that explores the fascinating world of fermentation through the year.

This book aims to bridge the gap between foraging, growing, and cooking, providing what's-in-season calendars and recipes for ferments to unlock incredible flavours, enhance nutrition, and foster a deeper connection with food and nature all year round.

Broadly speaking, we think of the year as four seasons. In the world of food, we can see the year as a shifting, overlapping mass of microseasons, each offering its own set of delicious ingredients. In this book, we follow ingredients (and the relevant fermentation techniques) through these microseasons to enjoy the best flavour possible and align with nature's rhythms.

With step-by-step instructions, illustration, and photography, this deep dive into the calendar year of an expert fermenter teaches you how to harness the best of each season, ensuring that your cupboards are stocked all year round along with recipes for your everyday cooking.
