'An open-hearted collection of stories, practical tips and excellent recipes' – Ottolenghi Test Kitchen

Eating fermented foods is great for our health, helping our gut’s microbiome to thrive. They are also utterly delicious and a great way to include more vegetables and fruit in your diet and avoid throwing out unused veg in your fridge.

Kenji, master fermenter and third-culture cook, shows you how easy and enjoyable it is to make simple pickles, prepare miso from scratch, or discover flavour-packed recipes to cook with shop-bought ferments.

Kenji tells you all need to know to start your fermented adventure – including step-by-step images and clear instructions, encouragement and trouble-shooting advice.

Whether you wish to pickle yourself or prefer to use your favourite shop-bought ferments, Kenji also shows just how simple it is to include kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, miso, super-quick pickles and more into your everyday cooking with delicious, gut-healthy results.
