Sandor Katz was Re: [Sca-cooks] Curing foods, was: salmon and gravlax

[Susan Fox-Davis]

I have Sandor's book, will check when I get home.  He is doing a round 
of fermentation workshops throughout the East and Midwest this June, and 
also he is looking for "outlaw cooks" using raw materials outside of the 
sanction of Government Food Authorities.  He writes:

" i'm trying to spend most of my time at home working on my new book. 
it's (tentatively) called underground food: culinary resistance and 
revolution in many different flavors. it's been inspired largely by 
people i have met -- food activists -- over the past few years as i have 
traveled around talking to people about fermentation.

"a lot of what i am writing about is how the small-scale local trade of 
unadulterated foods has been made illegal, and examples of communities 
where people are organizing underground markets to exchange local foods, 
in some cases perfectly legal, in others technically illegal by virtue 
of laws which favor mass production. i'm looking for examples of this 
small-scale unauthorized free trade of local foods. please email me with 
your related stories and experiences. thanks!"
