More Episodes

This episode is humming with microbial bliss!

We joyfully welcome author, educator, fermentation revivalist and James Beard recipient Sandor Katz on to demystify the wild, effervescent realms of fermentation.

Sandor’s first book “Wild Fermentation” came out in 2003 and inoculated a renaissance in fermentation arts. Today we discuss the origins of fermentation, its historical presence across cultures and food traditions, Sandor’s personal journey in healing, kitchen experiments, human evolution, the microbiome, food safety, fermentation encounters from around the world, tips for fermenting at home, and how these living cultures shape culture.

In his poetic, whimsical way Sandor invites us to consider how fermentation can be a way to reclaim our relationship to food and self.

Thank you Sandor for sharing your wisdom with us!
