Title: Making sauerkraut and pickled vegetables at home
Product review: This book is a disappointment. I bought it after I got my Harsch fermentation crock and I do not find it very useful. There are 8 recipes for fermentation for different vegetables (in addition to two different variations for sauerkraut)and about half of the book has 9 food recipes all for sauerkraut (ie pineapple sauerkraut, reuben, etc) with a full page color glossy photo on the opposite page of the recipe (wasteful in my opinion). There is a section on adding herbs and spices and it is unhelpful as it does not give details for many of them on how to use/prepare them for fermentation. There is an interesting section on Healing with Lactic Acid Fermentation, but that is about it. The biggest reason I do not like this book is that there is little troubleshooting detail or any help/suggestions for fermentation when the conditions are less than ideal.
