Fiery Ferments

Fiery Ferments is perfect for anyone who is really into spicy foods, but also looking for a little probiotic support. At a little over 250 pages, and 70 recipes to try, this book has a lot to offer. From hot sauces and salsas to pickles and pastes, and even a few entrees, beverages and deserts, the book is diverse and thoughtful. The book goes well with the author’s other book, Fermented Vegetables, and gives a lot of education and ideas on how you can really get into fermenting.

This book is appreciably balanced with recipes, ideas and great photography! The photo quality and amount really introduce and inspire as well as engage the reader with real taste, clear ideas and instruction. BRAVO

Love this book! I’ve had it for five years now and every summer when I have an abundance of peppers, I pull it out and get to work. I’ve tried tons of the recipes and they’re all great. They also help you get creative and innovative by covering the basics but giving you different variations to try out. I’ve got 3 ferments on the counter as we speak!

Good book for the beginner fermenter in you. Well written and some really good recipes in it.

This is a very informative book. The authors mix a variety of information, recipes and personal experiences to make the book not only useful, but enjoyable to read. It is evident that the Shockeys have a passion for making fermented foods, and they think outside of the box and try new things. Some worked for them, and some didn't, but it helps me as I can avoid some pitfalls if I learn from others experiences. It is much more than just a recipe book. This is the second book on fermenting that I have by the Shockeys and both have been great.

I stayed up hours late just to read this thing cover to cover like a regular book, in fascination. And I'm not much of a cookbook fan normally. It's interesting, humorous, informative, creative, and really brings home not only a wide variety of recipes for fermenting, but the underlying point: that it's an infinite canvas for anybody to play with, with just a few components and ingredients and some imagination. It's got lots of brief notes in passing that seem like valuable tidbits for someone new to fermenting (like me). Totally worth it!

I like spicy hot sauces and pickles but never thought I would be considering fermenting my own. Reading Fiery Ferments has changed my mind and I'm going to give some of the great recipes for salsa and achar a try. The Spicy Onion-Mango ferment truly sounds like one I will enjoy and there are also some wonderful sounding kimchi recipes. Not quite sure where to start! This book is filled with all you need to know to make ferments, delicious spicy recipes for creating them and a selection of recipes using the prepared ferments. I will definitely be adding Fiery Ferments to my cookery book shelf and I know a few people who will also enjoy a copy. My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a digital review copy.

This book is even better than their first “Fermented Vegetables” (which I also loved, but this one is even better!). The pictures and organization of the book is much easier to follow than their previous book. The recipes are also very interesting. I just received it and already have tried 4 recipes, with a desire to make everything! Thanks for a beautiful and amazing book!

My first dive into ferments and happy I bought this particular book. 👌🏼

Bought as a gift, has some unique recipes in it I hadn't heard of before

This is the best recipe book I have bought in many years. The recipes are very inspiring and all about flavour, the heat levels are up to you. Lots and lots of hot sauce recipes but also pickles, pastes, salads and fermented vegetables. A huge plus is that the ingredients are easy to find. I've only had the book a few days and have already made /started fermenting a blackberry chilli sauce, carrot, ginger and lime salad and a green bean kimchi. I love their ideas for chilli fruit syrups . I would highly recommend this book

Die von den Autoren vorgeschlagenen Zutaten sind meiner Meinung nach für mich sehr schwer erhältlich. Gefühlte 100 verschiedene Chili Arten. Davon abgesehen leicht verständlich und nett geschrieben.

Excelente
