Hi there, I am British, living in Bavaria, Germany which is the natural home of Sauerkraut. Now in deep winter it seems every shop seems to sell it - my local fishmonger makes it himself (he swears it must be made in a wooden barrel), my veg shop also sell it out of a huge pot, and my local farm butcher also have a jar on their shelves.
Since purchasing "The Art of Fermentation" I have been several projects on the go, main one being a whole cabbage/carrot shredded and salted, as in Sandor's video. It hink it may be so that sandor's book may be one of the most important cookbooks ever written, if it encourgaes people to make their own stuff.
So I just wanted to say hi and how much I love Sandor's book!
