Title: The Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition
Post by: Projectile Vomit on April 09, 2012, 05:19:04 am
Anyone read the new (or old) edition of this book?
It was out of print for several years, but was re-written and re-released as a new edition so is again available. It's a small Australian publisher though, so getting a copy to the US looks like it will cost $70 or so.

Ask Jessica, I think she liberated it for a friend, so may have experience with it?

The book's not cheap, but it's occasionally available through Powell Books in the US and I just bought it. Decent chapters on fermenting and storing a range of meats, including sea foods, terrestrial meats (including poultry, game and even insects) and dairy.

I read it. It essentially lists different ferments from different cultures. I didn't have much time with it, but I didn't remember it enlightening much in terms of procedure. It was essentially a catalogue. I did however enjoy reading "The Indigenous Foods of the Sudan" which gave detailed descriptions of the huge variety of fermented foods in that culture, including FERMENTED MEATS!!
