Award-winning author Julia Skinner ​combines her passion for making fermented foods with her fascination for the transformative, magical aspects of the process in this one-of-a-kind book plus oracle deck specially designed for fermentation fans.

Fermentation is an adventure—whether you’re collecting new cultures from foreign lands, riffing on a traditional recipe to create a totally new food, or allowing the process to lead you to moments of self-reflection. In The Fermentation Oracle, author Julia Skinner opens a portal to new culinary and personal explorations by sharing 36 guided meditations on the properties of each ferment, intended to help you think creatively about the gifts of that particular food or drink, access intuition, and navigate each day’s joys and problems more thoughtfully. The book is packaged with a deck of 36 lavishly illustrated oracle cards to spark your next culinary adventure and 38 creative recipes inspired by the readings that accompany them.
