Episode 3 - The health benefits of fermented foods

This month I spoke to Rachel de Thample about the health benefits of fermentation, and we discussed her amazing new book The River Cottage Handbook: Fermentation. She also talks about her days of working in the kitchens of Marco Pierre White, Heston Blumenthal and Peter Gordon.

An author of 6 books, Rachel has previously served as Commissioning Editor of Waitrose Food Illustrated, and was Head of Food for the pioneering organic food box scheme Abel & Cole.

Rachel teaches fermentation at River Cottage and at Petersham Nurseries, and is the Academic Director of the Natural Chef diploma course run by the College of Naturopathic Medicine.

You can pre-order her book on amazon now for the 3rd September release.
