On last week's episode of Taste Matters, JBF's Mitchell Davis explored all things fermentation with author, activist, and self-described "fermentation revivalist" Sandor Katz. The pair discussed the nature of the process, the growing trend of home fermentation, and the war on bacteria. Listen below to find out why fermented foods are so safe and learn about the history behind the transformative action of microorganisms:
Taste Matters is a radio program dedicated to taste: as a sense, cultural construct, and culinary phenomenon. However much we talk about where our food comes from, how it’s produced, who prepares it, or what sorts of socio-cultural-political implications our food choices and eating behaviors have, taste is fundamental.
You can catch Taste Matters with Mitchell Davis live every Wednesday at 11:00 A.M. on Heritage Radio Network, or listen to the show afterwards right here on our blog. To check out past episodes, click here. Stay tuned for more!
