Welcome to Litsy!

"We can become creators of a better world, of better and more sustainable food choices, of greater awareness of resources, and of community based upon sharing. For culture to be strong and resilient, it must be a creative realm in which skills, information, and values are engaged and transmitted; culture cannot thrive as a consumer paradise or a spectator sport. Daily life offers constant opportunities for participatory action. Sieze them."

I have this book in hardback and use it as a reference, but I recently found it on audio and decided to listen to the complete book. It an absolutely fascinating look at ways you can make your own fermented foods, as well as a brief look at fermentation traditions from around the world. This does not include in depth descriptions of how to do specific ferments, but it has basic information about many different methods.

Every part of this book has been interesting so far, but today I reached one of my favorite sections. There‘s a batch of sourdough bread slowly rising on my kitchen counter as I listen to what Katz has to stay about this wonderful process.

I‘ve had this book for a few years and have really enjoyed perusing different sections, but I‘ve never made time to read it cover to cover. Recently I realized the audio was available on #Hoopla, so I‘m listening to the whole thing, including while making and eating supper tonight. I‘m also noting sections as needed in my print copy. It‘s fascinating and makes me want to try so many different things!

I don't usually buy or collect bookmarks because I constantly leave them in books or lose them. However, I've made a few laminated ones I like, and I often mark pages with post-it flags, like these in my copy of The Art of Fermentation. #FunFridayPhoto
