A Year of Fermentation walks readers through kombucha, sourdough, miso, and sauerkraut using what's-in-season thinking, while Crazy for Cookies, Brownies & Bars delivers a treasure trove of sweet-tooth recipes for everyday baking. Together, they cover savory preservation techniques and dessert-table favorites, making this set a versatile addition to any food lover's cookbook shelf, whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned home cook looking to expand your repertoire.

About the Books
A Year of Fermentation is written by chef-turned-gardener Sam Cooper, known online as Chef Sam Black, who now works full-time with Huw Richards as co-director of Regenerative Media. The book is structured around the shifting microseasons of the year, linking homegrown and foraged ingredients to fermentation techniques such as kombucha brewing, apple cider vinegar making, sourdough baking, and miso production. With step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and photography throughout, it's designed to help readers build a stocked pantry of ferments that deepen flavor and boost nutrition in everyday cooking, season after season, without needing any specialized equipment beyond a few jars and some patience. Crazy for Cookies, Brownies & Bars comes from Dorothy Kern, a well-known baking blogger whose recipes have built a large online following of home bakers. The book focuses squarely on easy, crowd-pleasing baked treats, from classic drop cookies to fudgy brownies and layered bars, aimed at bakers who want reliable, from-scratch recipes without professional pastry training or hard-to-find ingredients. Paired together, these two titles bridge the gap between slow, patient fermentation projects and quick, satisfying baking wins, giving any home kitchen a well-rounded set of skills to draw on throughout the year. Both authors write from genuine hands-on experience and share a passion for turning simple ingredients into memorable food, whether that means a jar of bubbling kraut fermenting on the counter or a warm pan of brownies fresh from the oven.
