Terry Gross talked to author Sandor Katz today about his new book
The Art of Fermentation. It was fun to listen to him.

"Self-described "fermentation revivalist" Sandor Katz says "the creative space" between fresh and rotten is the root of most of humanity's prized delicacies. His new book, The Art of Fermentation, explores the ancient culinary art form."

Well, I do.  I learned it from Sandor Ellix Katz in his excellent work, WILD FERMENTATION, the very primer on pickle and other fermented foods.  He's rewritten it into a larger version but I have not read that fully yet.
