“If cooking is an art, and baking a science, then fermentation must be akin to magic.”
Ordinary foods—vegetables, milk, juice, tomatoes, tea—are transformed by it into the most extraordinary pickles, cheeses, vinegars, ketchups, and kombuchas. But, as with all magic, it’s important to stay on the side of light and goodness. Mary Karlin is the sorceress and Mastering Fermentation is her book of culinary spells.
