Heirloom

“Simultaneously traditional and utterly modern, this book truly brings the riches of the old ways of the world into a whole new way of seeing, cooking, and eating for today. This book is wise, flexible, thorough, and encouraging. In short, Heirloom is a most impressive work.”—Deborah Madison, author of Vegetable Literacy“What a gorgeous book! Sarah Owens showcases the bounty of the seasons using a broad range of techniques, including but definitely not limited to fermentation. Her culinary imagination is dazzling, drawing upon varied traditions, and sure to inspire.”—Sandor Ellix Katz, author of Wild Fermentation and The Art of Fermentation
