I probably have read too many of these type books because most of this I felt like I had already read before. This would be a good starting ground for someone interested in eating this way though.

this book was a lot like wild fermentation, but i felt less interested in the recipes. it was well written and a good read, but nothing really grabbed me and made me excited about cooking. a lot of the recipes were also really similar to those in wild fermentation. if you're in the market for a book about fermentation and eating/cooking simply, i'd recommend wf over this one. still, not a bad book.

Aside from having hard-to-spell last name, Ken and Rosanna have in common their interest in food. Food created by hand without a lot of fuss (or with some fuss) that tastes good. The recipes, written in paragraph style, look very delicious, and the writing is sparkling. Take this paragraph:
Turks invade Hungary, and the stage is violently set for the remarkable collision of flaky layered pastry (nee phyllo) and apples. Five hundred years later, Julie Andrews is singing about brown paper packages and warm apple strudel, under threat of yet another invasion--the Germans. Such a violent past for something so delightful.
This book is currently very popular at the library and thus I won't get to spend as much time with it as I would like. I think I will concentrate on their sourdough bread section, return the book, request it again and when it arrives, incorporate something else.

If you're unhappy with how modern recipes are written and kitchens are outfitted, fine. No need to be whiny or entitled about it.

This book kind of rocked my world. As a result I have some chicken stock in the fridge that simmered all night and a bowl of starter started on the counter that I hope to make some awesome bread out of next week.
