Great for beginners needing recipes

I was looking for some beginner recipes that were just a few ingredients that I would have around the house! This book has many of those recipes. It also has some additional ones that once your comfortable you can try! Definitely worth getting.

This is a new addition to Louise Davidson’s shelf in my Kindle library, a plain and simple step by step instruction book for anyone interested in the fermentation of ingredients on the food pyramid.
Louise Davidson has produced yet another page turner for the kitchen book shelf, thank you. :-)

Good Little Kindle Book for Advanced Beginners: Novices will need to research more

I acquired the Kindle ebook while it was free because I follow the author.

I've recently started doing KETO and had heard that Fermented foods such as pickled veggies were recommended to consume on KETO. I was hoping for a bit of a discussion on the health benefits of eating fermented foods. She does provide a bit of helpful information, I was just hoping for more.

The instructions are fairly easy to follow, but they presume a bit more familiarity with the canning process and use of weights (what kind of weights, what materials? nothing cited. Again, if you're already adept at canning, you know this and have things on hand, if not, then not.) than a rank novice like myself has. So, if you are already canning your own produce, you'll have no trouble following her instructions. I'm going to have to look a few instructional details up online to search for clearer explanations, images and perhaps videos.

She instructs us simply to "Let sit for 4 weeks..." without any explanation about at what temperatures, what temperatures to avoid if any, in the dark, in the sunlight, refrigerated.... Again, if you're already an advanced fermenting cook, you already know, but for beginners, I needed more guidance for safety procedures.

She includes quite a number of sourdough recipes, so if you are a fan, you'll be delighted with that section.

She includes fermented meat and fish recipes. I'm sure they are essentially fine, but I'll need to research more about their safety warnings before I would attempt those.

Absolutely zero images to illustrate any of the steps. A simple step by step basic intro to the process with image illustrating the steps would have been very helpful for beginners like me. If the $6.99 print book also has not images, I would be very disappointed at that price point to have none.

All in all, a good free ebook cookbook.
