THE FERMENTED MAN

Derek Dellinger

A hipster's answer to the million-copy bestselling food memoir, Julie and Julia.
Home brewer and blogger Derek Dellinger's international quest to eat only fermented foods—the good, the bad, and the smelly—for a full year
On January 1, 2014, Derek Dellinger embarked on a year-long challenge to answer one question: what would it be like to live for one entire year on only fermented foods? The Fermented Man narrates Dellinger's journey on this unorthodox diet, cataloging all the tastes, smells, and sights he experienced as he traveled the globe
to become the living embodiment of the fermented lifestyle.
Part memoir, part scientific study, and part cookbook, The Fermented Man is the story of one man's unprecedented adventure into the seemingly infinite field of food fermentation. Not since Julie Powell's massive bestseller Julie and Julia has a food memoir chronicled a year in the life of its author with such winning verve, humor, and gusto.

• Sudanese dishes like shermout, miriss, and dodery, made from the fermented bones, fat, and meat of

He is also a contributing writer to Upstate Brew York magazine and an advisor to Beacon Homebrew, a homebrew shop supplying the Hudson Valley region. He keeps a blog of his culinary adventures at thefermentedman.com. He lives (and brews) in Beacon, NY.
