Bloomsbury presents Fermentation by Rachel de Thample, read by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Gabrielle Glaister.

Winner of the Guild of Food Writers Specialist or Single Subject Award 2021

In Fermentation, Rachel de Thample shines a light on one of the oldest methods of preserving food, which is just as relevant today, and shows you how to produce delicious and health-boosting ferments in your own kitchen.

There are more than 80 simple recipes to make everything from sauerkraut and sourdough, kimchee and kombucha, to pickles and preserves, accompanied by thorough explanations of how the fermenting process works. With little more than yeast and bacteria, salt and time, a whole realm of culinary possibilities opens up.

With an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, this book will bring the art of fermentation to your kitchen.

Rachel de Thample has worked in the kitchens of Marco Pierre White, Heston Blumenthal and Peter Gordon. She is the author of More Veg, Less Meat, FIVE, Tonics & Teas and Gifts from the Modern Larder. Sheโ€™s served as Commissioning Editor of Waitrose Food Illustrated and Head of Food for the pioneering organic box scheme Abel & Cole. Rachel is currently runs preserving and fermentation courses at River Cottage in Devon and writes for The Simple Things magazine. She lives in Dorset.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is a writer, broadcaster and campaigner. His recent BBC One series Easy Ways to Live Well, alongside comedian Steph McGovern, looked inwardly at our perceptions of healthy eating and wellbeing. Hugh's Channel 4 series have earned him a huge popular following, while his River Cottage books have collected multiple awards including the Glenfiddich Trophy and the Andrรฉ Simon Food Book of the Year. Hughโ€™s additional broadcasting, like the hugely influential Fish Fight, has earned him a BAFTA as well as awards from Radio 4, Observer and the Guild of Food Writers. Hugh lives in Devon with his family.
