Biography: Sandor Ellix Katz is a fermentation revivalist. His book Wild Fermentation (2003), which Newsweek called “the fermenting bible,” and the hundreds of fermentation workshops he has taught across North America and beyond, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts.
A self-taught experimentalist who lives in rural Tennessee, the New York Times calls him “one of the unlikely rock stars of the American food scene.” According to the Times, “Mr. Katz has become for fermentation what Timothy Leary was for psychedelic drugs: a charismatic, consciousness-raising thinker and advocate who wants people to see the world in a new way.” His latest book, The Art of Fermentation, received a James Beard award. Sandor teaches fermentation workshops in Tennessee and many other places. For more information, check out his website: www.wildfermentation.

LOVED this interview Frances! So interesting. I HAVE to start canning food – just like I grew up with. My mom canned EVERYTHING we ate, and made pickles and sauerkraut every year! Great job!
An informative interview loaded with important facts about why we need fermented foods, daily, and also how easy it is to ferment! I ferment and enjoy a variety of fermented foods daily. I know I'm healthier for it. Check it out!
Hi Julie, Thanks for sharing the post! What foods do you love fermenting? I'm still experimenting with recipes, and love learning how others do it.
Cena, I just love how you're so supportive! Your mom sounds really cool. I'm new to canning, but will be publishing an interview with a canning expert next. What are you going to start canning first?
