YeeHaw! Stan and Adam have a brand new book out today called "Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Pickles & Relishes", by Stanley Marianski and Adam Marianski. The postman brought me a copy and I was a gonner for several hours. I just couldn`t get my nose out of the book; it`s that interesting. There`s lots of technical information included, but it`s not over the reader`s head. This is a "must have" book if you are going to make sauerkraut or kimchi, and pickles and relishes. There are lots of photos too - something that truly helps those just beginning to understand the fundamentals of it all.
Adam starts with a terrific introduction and quickly describes the health benefits of cabbage. There are discussions about salt, temperature, fermentation, equipment, brine, and much more. As the book progresses, necessary equipment is discussed along with the airlock principle and general savvy regarding scales, containers, presses, jars, weights, and crocks. Chapter four turns the reader`s interest to Kimchi and Tsukemono. The next chapter is all about fermentation and pickling cucumbers with several additional related topics. Chapter six delves into pickles and relishes, including chutneys, chow-chow, horseradish sauces, beets, and of course, superb recipes as usual! Congratulations Stan and Adam. You`ve done it again.
Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon
