The science is now clear: adding fermented foods to our diets brings an astonishing range of health benefits. Drawing on his own research and including practical tips for buying and making fermented foods, leading gut scientist Tim Spector demystifies the world of ferments, and introduces us to some of his favourites, such as kombucha, kefir, sourdough, miso and coffee. He explores the extraordinary science of fermentation and the transformative role of microbes in our kitchens and in our guts - and reveals why fermenting is the key to good food and good health.
