Read the intoduction to the book,not really my bag, sounds like weird science to me...lol However, everything has its place it the food chain i suppose.

Weird. What I linked to was a PDF of the book, but now all I'm getting is the Google books page. Well, I was saving it for a rainy day, but now I don't need to .

"Weird science"? Now I am curious; in what way? Do you mean fermentation in general, or did you see something specific in what you read? I think fermentation is kind of neat, but I am curious about what you mean.

No i don't mean fermented foods are weird, i just thought the introduction to the book sounded like weird science to me.
When i think of fermented foods, i just don't think of this line i read in the introduction to the book.
"Philosophy, theory or investigation of principles that regulate the universe and underlife"...huh...? To me its just weird, thats what i mean. I think fermention is cool too, i just don't get where this guy is coming from.To each his or her own, just my 2 cents...

Thanks for your reply. I admit to not having read the intro., and so didn't see that. I was looking up, specifically, Indian rice and legume ferments (idli and dosa) when I saw this on my google search, and decided to put it aside for when I had a bit more time - but now all I am getting is the google books page. I'll look more closely at the intro. if I can find the PDF file again.

ORChick if you are still researching info on these ferments this might interest you....I found it when researching dosas the other day

The comments at the bottom of the article are very interesting too !

[EDITED TO ADD : I also found this page & the other links within it to be very interesting as I am a comparative beginner in this area of food preparation.

I thought it might enlighten other beginners....it certainly did me. ]
