It's no surprise that fermented foods are the hottest topic in the field of health right now.

You'll learn everything you need to know to get started fermenting delicious and nutritious foods in your home kitchen. The Cultured Cook shares step-by-step instructions on how to ferment foods, including: sauerkraut, kimchi, salsa, chutney, kombucha (a natural fermented soda made from tea), dairy-free yogurt, vegan kefir (a fermented beverage), and vegan cheeses.

In The Cultured Cook, Dr. Cook will share the exciting research into how fermented foods heal your gut, alleviate inflammation in your whole body (which is a major factor in over 100 health conditions), help you lose weight without dieting, protect you against superbugs (even when they are resistant to antibiotics), help prevent cancer, and so much more. While a few books briefly mention the health benefits of fermenting foods, no other fermented foods book: 1) Delves into the exciting research of the health benefits of fermented foods beyond gut health; 2) Includes vegan yogurt and vegan cheese recipes; or 3) Elevates the flavors of fermented foods to a new and exciting level. Most people know that yogurt (at least the unsweetened kind with live cultures) is a healthy option but few people consider the many other foods rich in beneficial bacteria or yeasts that boost health. The Cultured Cook shares how to make yogurt, including numerous dairy-free options, extols the little-known virtues of this delicious food but goes well beyond that to share The Top 10 Fermented Foods to Supercharge Your Health, which include: cheese (vegan), kimchi, kombucha, kvass, miso, pickles, yogurt, sauerkraut." -- provided by publisher.
