'A rich resource that enlightens and inspires'
Mark Diacono
Every culture has a long history of fermentation, from kimchi to beer, kombucha to kefir, and sourdough to soy sauce, but rarely do we contemplate the complex science behind these everyday treats.
In The Science of Fermentation, author and CEO of the Fermenters Guild, Robin Sherriff dives into the complex microbiology and chemistry behind essential ferments, revealing the invisible ecosystems that shape flavour, preserve food, and enrich our diets.
Learn how fermented food and drinks have changed our palates and health forever, explore scientific processes behind your favourite pickles, and discover how to recreate them in your own kitchen.
With recipes for more than 30 ferments, step-by-step photography, tips and troubleshooting advice, plus a foreword by Dr Johnny Drain and contributions from experts from around the world, including James Read, Kenji Morimoto, Kirsten K. Shockey, Mark Dredge, and Olia Hercules. This book provides everything you need to understand and explore the alchemy of fermentation.
Shortlisted for the André Simon Food Book Awards 2025 and featured on BBC Radio 4's Food Programme in January 2026.

Another excellent Hodmedods lentil supporting British Farming. So tasty, great to use in curry amongst a host of other dishes.
Superb quality, packaging, and delivery..all 'round Excellent..😍
Brilliant product as are all the Hodmedods products I've purchased, I've used this flour in cakes mixed with ground almonds and it's also great for thickening sauces and gravies as an alternative to cornflour.
I'm also loving the new book for even more inspired recipe ideas ❤
These malted flakes are wildly delicious! We've been adding them to porridge after we bought a small bag to try. They add a delicious nutty flavour, and with some maple syrup, it is a luxurious porridge.
These are easily the best black beans I've tasted. Soaked overnight and pressure cooked for 10 minutes, they were perfect. The most surprising was the aquafaba, rich and sweet, it makes an amazing chocolate mousse.
