Foundations of Flavor: The Noma Guide to Fermentation


René Redzepi - 2018

And—perhaps even more important—shows how to use these game-changing pantry ingredients in 100 original talk recipes. Fermentation is already building as the most significant new direction in food (and health). With Foundations of Flavor: The Noma Guide to Fermentation, it’s about to be taken to a whole new level.

The Art of Fermentation: An in-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from Around the World


Sandor Ellix Katz - 2012

Sandor Katz has introduced what will undoubtedly remain a classic in food literature, and is the first--and only--of its kind.

The shop closed early that day, but it has been churning out plenty of the Chicago's most delectable pies ever since.Since starting her career as a pastry chef at Trio, one of Chicago's top fine-dining restaurants, Haney dreamed of opening her own pie shop.
