For far too long, fermentation has been the preserve of the ultra-foodie. But these techniques don’t need to be complicated or require lots of hard-to-source ingredients. Drawing on his multicultural background and passion for all things fermentation, Kenji Morimoto has created a clear, confident, accessible, and joyful guide to home preservation—plus recipes for incorporating homemade (or store-bought, if that’s more your speed) ferments and pickles into everyday meals, snacks, and even cocktail hour. 

If you’ve been wary of fermentation until now, never fear. From straightforward Fermentation 101 and Pickling 101 overviews to help you learn the basics, to FAQs and troubleshooting tips, Ferment sets you on a solid foundation before setting you free to experiment. Next, Morimoto shares recipes for his favorite ferments, including many inspired by his heritage and given modern, multicultural twists, like Fennel and Turmeric Kimchi, miso five ways, Koji Chimichurri Paste, cheong (a Korean fermented fruit syrup), and a plethora of kombuchas. Finally, fifty flavorful and gut-friendly recipes for everything from Kimchi and Feta Spanakopita to Rhubarb Cheong Pavlova will help you actually use your homemade ferments—no more mystery jars languishing at the back of the fridge for months!

Whether you’re just dipping your toes into fermenting, looking for inspiring ideas to take your standard kombucha recipe to the next level, or simply trying to work more natural probiotic powerhouses into your diet, this book is for you.

Wow! So in my other life I admin a fermentation group that is very science led due to my background in the subject. I get asked for fermentation book recommendations all the time particularly from beginners and I have such a hard time doing so because so many very popular titles have plain bad information in them as they don’t come from a place of science. When working with microbes the “art” should be in your flavor combos and how you create with them and NOT in your process.

Well this book is pure gold! I give Kenji all the kudos for sticking to proper practices for home fermentation to get the best and safest outcome. This book not only gives you all the information you need, it also has unique recipes written in weight in both Metric and US Standard measurements but also how to use those ferments in tasty recipes. I have already started several of the recipes today and can already imagine how food they will taste.


I am thankful to have gotten a complimentary eARC from the Experiment Publishing through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.
Thank you for finally having a book I can recommend with confidence.
