The Living Alchemy Book of Fermentation: Ancient Inspiration for Modern Day Health delves into the profound history of fermentation, tracing its roots across diverse cultures and exploring its deep-seated significance in spiritual, philosophical and healing traditions worldwide. As we embarked on this exploration, we not only uncovered the practical art of fermenting foods but also its profound implications for holistic well-being. Specifically, how our own microbes are so interconnected with the people, the soil and the entire ecosystem we exist in. This book also offers a beautifully curated recipe section with step-by-step instructions and equipment glossary with the foundational ferments for beginners to start their journey or for those looking to get more creative in the kitchen. By harnessing the ancient wisdom of fermentation, we hope you can optimize your health while reconnecting with the age-old practices that have nourished communities for centuries.
