Sandor Katz discovered his absolute love for fermented foods by crunching on kosher dill pickles on the busy streets of New York. Years later, he traded the city for a vibrant, queer community in the lush Tennessee mountains. There, he and his friends grew fresh vegetables, cooked huge meals, and threw fabulous drag dances. But when a massive cabbage harvest left them with too much food, Sandor discovered the magic of making sauerkraut. You will journey alongside Sandor as he chops, salts, and packs raw ingredients, waiting for the invisible microbes to create zingy, zangy flavors. This lively biography is a wonderful celebration of ecology, community, and the delicious power of science. Discover how sharing recipes and cultivating tiny microbes can deeply connect us to the earth and to each other.
