The Japanese Art of Pickling and Fermenting
Preserving vegetables and family traditions
Discover the centuries-old practices of Japanese pickling and fermenting, and learn to make delicious preserved vegetables at home.
In The Japanese Art of Pickling and Fermenting, preserving expert Yoko Nakazawa shares her lifelong passion of pickling and fermenting ingredients using age-old techniques that have been passed down the generations. Nakazawa grew up in rural Japan and helped her parents preserve the glut of their vegetable patch every season. Her mother taught her how to preserve food using ancient Japanese fermenting techniques to make Amazuke (sweet vinegar pickles); Asazuke (quick pickles); Kasa zuke (sake lees pickles); Misozuke (miso pickles); Nukazuke (rice bran pickles); and more. Upon moving to Australia, Nakazawa started to grow and preserve her own vegetables and became inspired to share her knowledge and recipes for pickling and fermenting all kinds of produce, including daikon, cucumber, cabbage, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, umeboshi, even eggs, and chrysanthemum leaves!
In this book Nakazawa explains the difference between these pickles and ferments, and guides us through the preserving process, from salt ratios and chopping techniques to fermenting times and storage. Along the way, she shares personal stories from her childhood and experiences growing and fermenting vegetables in Australia, making this volume not only a practical guide filled valuable knowledge, but also a book filled with love.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
