While this book is straight forward and simple I have had issues with some of the recipes.
For example; Pineapple vinegar takes a lot longer to make than the recipe states. I have also made the cottage cheese using the recipe in the book and found I had to add one more step before it looked like cottage cheese.
I would recommend that anyone purchasing this book check out other recipes online to make sure none of the steps are missing.
Don't be put off buying it. It's inexpensive compared to a lot of books out there and I have had a lot of fun making stuff from different recipes.

Overall, I found Fermentation for Beginners to be helpful and insightful. This book would serve both the novice and the experienced alike. I’ve always thought fermenting fruits and vegetables would be difficult, but the book makes this process seem far easier than I’d believed. For those interested in learning the craft, the book offers background information on fermenting as well as easy to follow recipes.

when I begun reading the book "fermentation for beginners", I thought it was a boring subject. I was wrong.
Because I ignored the benefits and importances of fermented foods, since vegetables, fruits until alcoholic and nonalcoholic stuff and I also learned that fermenting support immunity system, aid our digestion, besides of lose weight.
But the funny thing, I found recipes and the easy way to learn the fermentation process to eat healthy and strong.
Definitely recommend.

Before I read this book, I was completely oblivious to the process of fermentation and the benefits of it. I honestly thought that only wine and beer could be "fermented". I also, had no clue how probiotic foods were created from this process! Throughout many years, generations, and cutltures, people have relied on fermentation for their very survival. This is a subject that is rarely discussed yet possesses much importance! For that reason, this book should be in the library of every person who wants to live a probiotic life!

Fermentation made easy. I am trying to eat healthier now that I am older and had heard eating
fermented foods was great for my immune system. The book is great because it tells you how
the fermentation process works and gives you easy recipes to try. It even tells you the best foods
to buy and explains the health benefits of fermentation. Recipes are great and much easier
than I expected.

I didn't know about this subject before I got his book. I've learned so much. Everything
from the history to how to do it at home. Anyone can do this themselves and most
of the instructions are great, but some are a little intimidating. For instance,
the sourdough bread seems very complicated. At the end of the day, I would
recommend it for anyone and everyone interested in this subject.

Probiotics, the science behind fermentation, has recently become a buzzword in culinary circles. This instructive book by Drake Press helps demystify fermentation by breaking down the assorted food and beverage categories that are products of this ancient culinary practice. The book clarifies in the early chapters what fermentation is and isn’t: sauerkraut, kimchi and homemade pickled vegetables, meat and fish are the products of fermentation, but many commercial pickled items that have been submerged for a period of time in vinegar are not. The book also explains the various health benefits derived from a diet rich in fermented food and drink, including improved digestion, a reduction of stiff or swollen joints and better oral hygiene because of the eradication of harmful bacteria. The second part of the book includes an amazing collection of recipes that are relatively straightforward, and with a modicum of science and patience required, a fascinating departure from most culinary endeavors.

So excited to have a basic guide to fermentation! I have read many articles on the health benefits of home made probiotics and have been thinking about doing this for a while. I am anxious to try the detailed recipes that include time frames, temperatures, and indicators. Fresh seasonal foods are recommended, but I am happy to have the manual on hand for spring farmer’s market fare.
Grandma’s recipes for sourdough starter and sauerkraut were very vague and she’s not here to guide me. This book will be a big help!

An interesting book with informative and clear instruction for fermenting all kinds of foods. Looking forward to summer veggies, eggs, meats, fish and even dairy products to try a variety of recipes provided. Not all recipes seemed "easy" but many were and all offered a healthy option to store bought equivalents. It sounds like a fun adventure to jump on board.
