Description
Fermentation — the transformation of food by microorganism activity — is the oldest food preservation technology and the source of flavour complexity that no cooking process alone achieves. Understanding the three primary fermentation pathways used in culinary production (lactic acid fermentation, acetic acid fermentation, and alcoholic fermentation) provides the framework for understanding miso, soy sauce, vinegar, cheese, bread, wine, beer, kimchi, tsukemono, and every fermented product in the database.
