FERMENT – A Modern, Practical Guide to Fermented Foods

Hallesches Haus

FERMENT is a stylish, accessible cookbook that demystifies one of the world’s oldest culinary traditions. Eating fermented foods is not only delicious but supports a thriving gut microbiome — and this book shows just how easy it is to bring more ferments into everyday cooking.

Led by Kenji, master fermenter and third-culture cook, this guide teaches you how to make simple pickles, prepare miso from scratch, and confidently cook with your favourite shop-bought ferments. Clear instructions, step-by-step images, and helpful troubleshooting remove the intimidation often associated with fermentation, making it friendly for beginners and inspiring for experienced cooks.

Whether you want to ferment at home or simply learn how to use kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, kombucha, or quick pickles in your meals, FERMENT offers gut-healthy, flavour-packed recipes you won’t find anywhere else.
