Sandor Ellix Katz in Conversation With Liz Crain

October 16, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Free
Online, N/A, Portland, OR 97207

In his new book, Fermentation as Metaphor (Chelsea Green), bestselling author Sandor Ellix Katz — an “unlikely rock star of the American food scene” (New York Times) — delivers a mesmerizing treatise on the meaning of fermentation alongside his awe-inspiring photography of this transformative process, teaching us with words and images about ourselves, our culture, and being human. In 2012, Katz published The Art of Fermentation, which quickly became the bible for foodies around the world, a runaway bestseller, and a James Beard Book Award winner. Since then his work has gone on to inspire countless professionals and home cooks worldwide, bringing fermentation into the mainstream. In Fermentation as Metaphor, stemming from his personal obsession with all things fermented, Katz meditates on his art and work, drawing connections between microbial communities and aspects of human culture: politics, religion, social and cultural movements, art, music, sexuality, identity, and even our individual thoughts and feelings. He informs his arguments with his vast knowledge of the fermentation process, which he describes as a slow, gentle, steady, yet unstoppable force for change. Katz will be joined in conversation by Liz Crain, author of Dumplings Equal Love and Food Lover’s Guide to Portland.
