From Booklist
The microbial process of fermentation plays a part in many everyday foods. The bacteria, molds, and fungi let loose on raw ingredients transforms them into wholly new foods, sometimes far removed from their original natures. Nearly everyone is familiar with this process that turns grape into wine or barley into beer, but few are as aware that parallel bacterial activity makes cabbage into sauerkraut and milk into cheese or yogurt. Meats, such as corned beef, rely on fermentation for flavor, and every Dane knows what it can do for a smorgasbord’s herring. Karlin aims to make the home cook less daunted by these biological processes. She carefully inventories requisite equipment and gives detailed directions. She usefully catalogs sources of supply for mold starters, specialized yeasts, and the like. As with many food preservation techniques, sanitation and other controls are vital, not just for tasty outcomes but to ensure food safety. A valuable reference book. --Mark Knoblauch
Review
“Mary Karlin does a lot to render a topic that is beguiling but mysterious in a direct and straightforward way.
Mastering Fermentation is full of recipes and ideas that are imminently doable and also delicious. Do try making your own cream cheese and you’ll know its goodness!”
—DEBORAH MADISON, author of
Vegetable Literacy and
Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone “Mary Karlin has done it again, getting me all excited about the passions we share, as she previously did with cheese making and wood-fired cooking. But this time it’s for the whole magical category of fermentation, and she goes both broad and deep. I could not put this book down, and now
I simply want to make everything
in it.”
—PETER REINHART, author of
The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking and
Artisan Breads Every Day “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 this is her book of culinary spells.”
—KIRI FISHER, owner of The Cheese School of San Francisco
