In October 2013 I drove to Tennessee to attend Sandor Katz fermentation workshop, which we affectionately refer to as "Fermentation Camp." Along with other attendees across North America, we camped out and participate din various fermentation activities, including making sauerkraut and pear cider. We visited the Barefoot Farmer's Farm, where we learned about the mycelium network and harvested a literal truck load of vegetables. We had lessons on making miso, and visited a gay faery commune, having a lasting impact on my personal food evolution. On today's episode I tell some stories from that trip and talk with three of my fellow campers that week, Bob, Todd and Holly, who talk about their experience at Fermentation Camp.

Today we salut the multidimensional medicine of the vine with Barbara Gross of Cooper Mountain Vineyards! Barbara is a visionary in organic, biodynamic, alternative viticulture. As a second generation, natural wine grower and purveyor, our guest has faced countless challenges on a daily and multi-generational scale. Her family has devoted the last 46 years to transform conventional vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley  into thriving, biodiverse, regenerative ecosystems; specializing in the cultivation of Pinot Noir (a varietal of grape most sensitive to environmental stress and the fluctuations of climate change). Through it all, Barbara has emerged as a sort of wildly down to earth, renegade leader in the wine industry. Tune in, pour yourself a glass of healing wine or tea and muse upon this Dionysian thought: could biodynamically farmed and alchemized wine help save our beloved Earth? COVERED Barbara's legacy of wine stewardship at Cooper Mountain Vineyards Organic + biodynamic certification processes Conscious Land Stewardship The art and science of Pinot Noir, a delicate and climate-sensitive varietal. How natural wines differ from conventional in both taste and their impact on personal & planetary health The role of agriculture in addressing climate change, with insights into carbon-neutral farming How organic, biodynamic vineyards are carbon sinkholes and help sequester up to 30% more carbon than conventional methods The importance of embracing cycles in farming and Life Why a Generational Mindset is needed OFFERING Enjoy 15% off all biodynamic wines + balsamic vinegars from  www.coopermountainwine.com with the code SOUNDFOOD.

Himmelriket är som en surdeg, sa Jesus. Men är fermenteringsprocessen verkligen räddningen på alla problem? Lars Hermansson funderar över bakterier som skapar bubblor i tillvaron. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Två unga kvinnor står på en rund plattform av trä klädda i bruna nattlinnen och hanterar en gigantisk surdeg tillsammans. Degen tynger och väller och klibbar och vill hela tiden ned på golvet. En naturlig gravitation som kvinnorna med hjälp av sina kroppar med yttersta möda förhindrar. Kampen med degen bara pågår, kvinnorna svettas, nattlinnena blir degiga, snart ser man inte var kroppen börjar och degen slutar, det är ganska hemskt alltihop, och det pågår bara några meter från där vi sitter och dricker kaffe och äter bullar. Det är en performanceföreställning, den heter The cumbersome dough, konstnärerna heter Heidi Edström och Ester Olofsson. Jag såg den på konstmässan Supermarket i Stockholm 2017. Bilderna har etsats sig fast.Svenska är inte det enda språk där ordet deg också syftar på pengar. Engelskan har sitt dough. Italienare och fransmän är mer analytiska och går direkt på degens ursprung vetet, i franskans blé och italienskans grana. På svenska kan man också dega, det vill säga slöa, vara overksam. När ordet deg som slang för pengar etablerades i Sverige för snart hundra år sedan kanske för att pengar med räntan ökade i omfång lite som en deg, om man lämnade dem overksamma på banken. Räntan härmar, kan man säga, den transformativa kraft som finns i den mikroorganism vi kallar jäst. Andra och besläktade mikroorganismer som kan förändra och förädla är bakterierna. Vi talar om bakteriekulturer och jästkulturer och avser då den jäsande, bubblande, delvis självgenerande, kemiska kontext som sätter fart på grejer, gör yoghurt av mjölken, vin av druvsaften, bröd av vatten och mjöl. Jag höll på att säga vin av vatten, men det var det ju Jesus som gjorde.Det är ingen slump att det är två fermenterade produkter, bröd och vin, som fått representera Jesu kött och blod i den så kallade transsubstantiationsläran. Det påstår i alla fall den amerikanske matjournalisten och fermenteringsgurun Sandor Katz i sin bok Fermentation as metaphor. Idag försöker vi förklara fermenteringsprocesser vetenskapligt, men i förmoderna samhällen sågs förloppet ofta som något mystiskt, lite grand i samma tassemark som alkemin, bara lite mer vardagligt – fermentering är ju ytterst (eller innerst) än i dag ett livsnödvändigt sätt att konservera livsmedel och underlätta för kroppen att tillgodogöra sig dess näringsämnen. Men bakterier är som bekant inte bara hälsobringande utan kan också vara farliga.Med läkarvetenskapens framgångar i kampen mot smittsamma bakteriella sjukdomar som tbc och salmonella i början av nittonhundratalet kom också en fobi för bakterier och en strävan efter renhet som tog sig uttryck inte bara i en nedlåtande attityd till surkål och andra fermenterade produkter, utan också rent konkret i form av sterilisering av kök och badrum, samt inte minst en paketeringsiver. Maten skulle till varje pris skyddas från utifrån kommande angrepp, i slutändan av denna utveckling hittar vi förstås vakuumförpackningen. Den här renhetsivern har sedan länge kommit att förknippas med sånt som rasrenhet och xenofobi, och de fermenteringsaktivister som idag blir allt vanligare i gränslandet mellan konst, filosofi och restaurangnäring ser den bakteriella kontamineringen som ett sätt att symboliskt syresätta stelnade tankemönster och liksom ”bubbla upp” slutna samhällssystem.En central gestalt i denna rörelse är den iranske filosofen och författaren Reza Negarestani. I en berömd föreläsning beskriver han ”decay”, alltså förfall eller röta (fermenteringsprocessen är ju en form av röta) som en process där levande och dött inte går att skilja åt. I boken Cyclonopedia skriver han ”… i rötan lever varelsen vidare genom att blurra in sig i andra varelser utan att helt förlora sitt ontologiska register.” Fermentering som en form av transcendens alltså. Kanske är det därför islänningarna äter jäst rocka, en allt annat än väldoftande maträtt, på Thorlaksmäss, alltså dagen före julafton. Den isländske författaren Guðni Elísson beskriver vällustigt i romanen ”Ljusfångaren” hur fiskarna ligger ovanpå varandra i staplar och citat ”förgeggas uteslutande i sitt eget illamående.” ”För endast islänningarna”, skriver han, ”anser sig fullärda i fermentering, för så kallas konsten att förruttnelsemarinera en fisk i dess egna utsöndringar…” Slut citat. Inget Jesusbarn utan en förädlande stank först alltså.Men hos de konstnärer och aktivister som idag samlas i avlägsna, pittoreska byar och äter lokalt odlade fermenterade produkter tillsammans, är det den politiska potentialen i jäsningsprocessen, snarare än den andliga, som dominerar. Denna fermenteringsaktivismen har förstås sina rötter i såväl slow food-rörelsen som 1970-talets gröna våg, och visst kan det vara frestande att i mikroorganismerna se en symbol för småfolket, och i kålhuvudet en bild för övermakten. Men man blir ju inte automatiskt en bättre människa bara av att äta surkål och brygga öl. Det om något har väl historien visat.Idag är det inte många som rynkar på näsan åt surdegsbröd. Tvärtom. Annorlunda var det på Bibelns tid. I såväl Gamla som Nya testamentet finns en utbredd skepsis mot surdegsbröd. Särskilt i Gamla testamentet förekommer mängder av rena förbud eller påbud att hellre välja osyrat. Anledningen enligt en samstämmig teologisk expertis är att metoden att syra bröd uppfanns i Egypten, och i det strängt reglerade judiska samhället ansågs allt som var främmande som oheligt och därmed oförenligt med ett sant gudsfruktigt leverne. I Nya testamentet är inställningen mer ambivalent. ”Låt oss därför fira högtiden, inte med ondskans och fördärvets surdeg, utan med renhetens och sanningens osyrade bröd.” skriver Paulus i första Korintierbrevet. Men både Lukas och Matteus återger Jesu liknelse om himmelriket som en surdeg ”som en kvinna arbetar in i tre mått mjöl; till slut blir alltsammans syrat.” Och jag ser återigen framför mig Heidi Edström och Ester Olofsson, hur de står där i sina bruna degkletiga nattlinnen med surdegen mellan sig, och hur allt till slut blir deg och deg blir allt. Och det är vare sig ett gott eller ett ont. Det bara är. Genomsyrat.Lars Hermansson, författare och kritikerLitteraturGuðni Elísson: Ljusfångaren. Översättning av John Swedenmark.

The never-ending long hours, shady sourcing of produce, and restaurants whose models rely on unpaid labor made her rethink her approach to food and a life in the industry. Then she met her partner Margaux, discovered the wonders of fermentation, and decided to slow down and move forward on her own terms.

“No organism is an island.” As Sandor Katz reminds us in this delightful and informative episode, all life on earth is deeply interdependent. Though modern food systems alienate us from our environments and from the ways, we cannot totally sever ourselves from the environments and nutrients that make life possible. Sandor shows that alienation and disconnection will not free us. Rather, settling into the overlapping and diverse entwinement of the more-than-human world may bring connection and sustenance in close relation to our food production. The story of humanity is embedded in our food, embedded in the daily tasks and practical measures that sustain us. This conversation bubbles over with wisdom, as Sandor shares stories and lessons from his decades of experience experimenting with the art of fermentation. Fermentation is the manifestation of biodiversity, and as Sandor emphasizes, the study of fermentation is as much a study of our own tastes and cultural transitions as it is a study of our environments. Sandor Ellix Katz is a fermentation revivalist. He is the author of five books: Wild Fermentation; The Art of Fermentation; The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved; Fermentation as Metaphor; and his latest, Fermentation Journeys. Sandor's books, along with the hundreds of fermentation workshops he has taught around the world, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts. A self-taught experimentalist who lives in rural Tennessee, the New York Times calls him “one of the unlikely rock stars of the American food scene.” Sandor is the recipient of a James Beard award and other honors.

Jamie Woodhouse questions the logic of “the logic of the larder” – the view that it is better to bring animals into the world to kill them eg in animal agriculture, rather than those animals not being brought into existence at all. The show also features a discussion on the practical implications of rejecting this logic of the larder position, in terms of implications for animal advocacy.  Jamie is attempting to popularise the concept of Sentientism – a worldview based on evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings.

For people living in affluent parts of the world in the 21st century, we are used to preserving food by way of refrigeration. But this technique is quite new when you consider that people have been preserving food through fermentation for at least 10,000 years. Our ancestors experimented with fermenting to make food more delicious, more easily digestible, and more stable for storage. And there are many reasons why you might want to learn the process yourself. Sandor Ellix Katz is a well-known food writer and self-taught fermentation experimentalist. He is the author of several books, including The Art of Fermentation, Wild Fermentation, and The Revolution will Not Be Microwaved. On this episode of Reversing Climate Change, Sandor joins Ross to explore the practical benefits of fermentation and explain how our disconnection from food systems contributes to our destruction of the environment. Sandor explains why it's valuable to maintain the cultural wisdom around preserving food through fermentation and how our health might improve if we relied less on refrigeration and more on fermenting. Listen in for Sandor's insight on the tradeoffs between pure culture starters versus wild fermentation and learn how to take the first steps in learning fermentation—and why it's easier than you think!

Permaculture Velocity | Homesteading Skills You Can Use

Perpetual ferments like nuka pickling beds and pao cai are wonderful because they allow one to add and remove vegetables (and fruits) as needed to ferment then enjoy—fermented turmeric paste is another perpetual ferment. I love having the turmeric paste around as we are a household of two and having one jar of paste around is perfect for adding a handful of vegetables to then enjoy. It's perfect when you have a radish or an apple or a couple cucumbers. The first step to all this convenient fermentation is to ferment the paste. Following Adam James's lead in Sandor Katz's Fermentation Journeys, combine 400 grams turmeric root, 400 grams turnips, 300 grams peeled garlic, and add 4% salt in a blender and blitz until it's a paste. I found that using my food processor didn't yield a paste. I then fermented the paste in a 3 liter jar for nearly six weeks because I forgot—it was during winter so it would've taken a bit longer to be happy. I didn't stir as the recipe indicated due to the same forgetfulness—there was some darkening on the top of the paste—but it was fermenting along happily and smelled terrific. Now the turmeric paste is happy and ready to accept foods to be fermented. I found that I love the dramatic presentation of turnips, radishes, yellow or brown onions, grapes, apples, pears and Asian pears, and cucumbers. In the summer time they are usually tasty wonderful after 3 or 4 days—in the winter it takes a week or two. I've found that if I need to add to the jar because the paste is running low or needs more salt, I make a half batch or so—adjusting the salt as needed—and add it to the existing paste. Stir and resume using the paste after a few days. While I am sure that the creative culinary folks will have lots of ideas about using the turmeric paste for cooking or adding to other ferments, I always use it to get a curry kicked off. It's more than half way there—sauté some garlic, ginger, etc. add the paste, and add a can or two of coconut milk. Done. Add tofu or meat if you like. Dinner on the quick along with some noodles or rice.

Try a Podcasting 2.0 Certified app: Podfriend - Breez - Sphinx - Podstation - Curiocaster - Fountain Thank you Mara Jane King for suggesting “the sauce” as that spurred the podcast name change that was long overdue. xoxo The sauce isn't really a saucy sauce but a tasty, umani punch of flavor, dry seasoning blend of dehydrated natto, sesame seeds, chili pepper, salt, and sichuan peppercorns inspired by douchi from Mara's travels with Sandor in China. Watch the eight films from their trip People's Republic of Fermentation with filming by Mattia Sacco Botto. Later back in Tennessee, after their most excellent trip, (seriously watch the films!) I watched as Mara lovingly pulverized the ingredients in a mortar and pestle, blended and tasted, and poured the special sauce into a honey queenline jar. Amazing and delicious! There are countless riffs, I've added dehydrated sour corn, finely grated salted goose egg yolks, and fried and dried tempe—though not all in the same blend.

Listen now | This week, I'm talking to Sandor Katz, whom you likely know from his books Wild Fermentation, The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved, The Art of Fermentation, Fermentation As Metaphor, and now Sandor Katz's Fermentation Journeys, which maps fermentation practices around the world, to show how traditions that preserve abundance have been maintained. It's perhaps my favorite of his books, because it tells so many stories through fermentation and introduces you to so many people around the world. Katz has become a legend for his work, but he maintains humility as a conduit of knowledge rather than a keeper. His approach is a real inspiration to me. It was wonderful to get to talk to him about how he organized this book by substrate rather than nation, that why he names the ills of neocolonialism, and a lot more.  This is a public episode.

#003 - Fermentation is all around us.  It is used to some degree in a surprising number of common, and not so common, items of food and beverage all around the world.  It is found in every culture and on every continent and, while it has served to nourish and sustain generations of different cultures around the globe, it is declining in popularity in proportion to the rise of commercialism and mass produced food.  My guest today has taken up the cause of advocating for and preserving the art of fermentation, all while bringing together a myriad of cultural practices to share with the world.  His name is Sandor Katz, also known as “Sandor Kraut”, he is a fermentation revivalist     and New York Times best selling author.  He has been called “the Johnny Appleseed of Fermentation” and has achieved a sort of rockstar status among the independent food movement.In our conversation, we discuss some of his experiences abroad as well as dive into some of the reasons that fermentation can be found in every culture around the world.  We get into the elusive nature of the origins of fermentation and the many ways it has evolved into what it is today.  We also discuss using the art of fermentation on the homestead as an augmentation to the more standard preservation practices such as canning, drying and freezing.
