I had to go into the office on a Saturday recently. Upon getting to the office front door I found that my key wasn't cut right and I couldn't get in. I then decided that in order to make my trip worthwhile I would have to stop by BabyCakes and Bluestockings Bookstore in NYCs Lower East Side on my way home. Browsing through the isles of Bluestockings a peculiar book caught my eye: Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods by Sandor Ellix Katz.

Being a vegan baker, a home brewer and a DIY freak I knew I had to go in for a closer look. As soon as I flipped through a few pages, I was thankful I had to go to the office that day- I may have never ended up finding this book.
