Description
Truly Cultured: Rejuvenating Taste, Health and Community with Naturally Fermented Foods is a first-of-its-kind treasury, a full circle tribute to the world’s favorite foods. Clearly, as the tagline reads. “The Book is a Feast, But It’s Just the Start of the Banquet…” Half cookbook, half “nourishment guide”, this long overdue full color tribute to live cultured foods and the microorganisms that produce them is a delicious, nutritious buffet of facts, recipes and figures, quips, quotes, quizzes, history, food science, anecdotes and insight, puns, myths, secrets, how-to tips, tidbits and unabashed, call-it-like-it-is power truths that help readers understand how important old style, lacto-fermented foods and their producers, friendly probiotic bacteria, are to our health, environment and communities.
Although many people will pick up Truly Cultured just for its sumptuous recipes and lush, four-color photos, the book is much more, an unprecedented archetype on this subject. Author Nancy Lee Bentley hopes it will change the way we think about food, health and life and how this impacts the world.
“This Book is an Opus” says Chicago Sun Times Food Editor, Robin Jenkins.
