Didn't like the writing. Could have been shorter according to me. Title a bit misleading as the core angle of the book is the racial question in relation to the climate question. Super interesting angle but I wish it was more made clear from the cover that this was the starting point.

It's good but also not really well written. Could have been condensed in half the size according to me. Feels a bit like Chat GPT wrote the book.

Gustave Blåbær reviewed Our Fermented Lives by Julia Skinner
3.5 stars
3 stars
Pros: - Well balanced book with both theory/stories about how fermentation have shaped culture - Good representation of professionals that are not men involved in the food sector - A sensitivity, approach and set of values close to mine
Cons: - The writing style is not really engaging. I wanted to skim a lot of pages, because I got bored - Some inconsistency with smaller details or chapters being overly developed and others just browsed briefly
