  • The Art of Fermentation
  • Fermented Vegetables

Perfect for you if...

  • You're already fermenting at home and want to push beyond basic sauerkraut into bold, complex flavour territories.
  • You cook with global spices and want to understand how fermentation deepens them rather than just following recipes.
  • You're obsessed with hot sauce but tired of the store-bought stuff and ready to build a condiment arsenal tailored to your heat preference.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You shy away from spice and see chilli as punishment rather than flavour.
  • You prefer quick, shelf-stable condiments over the slower fermentation process.
  • You're looking for a general preservation guide. This book is specifically about fermented heat, not broad pickling or canning techniques.

About this book

Fiery Ferments presents more than 60 recipes for hot sauces, mustards, pickles, chutneys, relishes, and kimchis from around the world. The book opens with information on the history of spices and fermentation techniques before moving into the recipes themselves. Chiles are the primary focus, though other traditional spices including horseradish, ginger, and peppercorns are also featured. Specific recipes include Thai Pepper Mint Cilantro Paste, Aleppo Za'atar Pomegranate Sauce, and Mango Plantain Habañero Ferment. Beyond condiments, the book includes additional recipes showing how to use hot ferments in breakfast foods, snacks, entrées, and beverages. Each recipe includes serving size yields and references to techniques explained earlier in the book.
