Best-selling authors and acclaimed fermentation teachers Christopher Shockey and Kirsten K. Shockey are back, and this time they’ve brought the heat with more than 60 recipes for hot sauces, mustards, pickles, chutneys, relishes, and kimchis from around the globe.

Learn about the history of spices plus the best techniques for fermentation before diving into the fiery recipes. Chiles take the spotlight, but other traditional spices like horseradish, ginger, and peppercorns also make cameo appearances.

Whet your appetite with recipes such as:

  • Thai Pepper Mint Cilantro Paste
  • Aleppo Za’atar Pomegranate Sauce
  • Mango Plantain Habañero Ferment


Dozens of additional recipes for breakfast foods, snacks, entrées, and beverages highlight the many uses for hot ferments.  Each recipe is accompanied by a serving size yield and a reference to the techniques shown earlier in the book, making this the only guide you’ll need for your spicy fermenting experience.

    "Fiery Ferments expertly marries spicy with probiotics. The 70 recipes include both traditional and modern takes, and each comes with its own heat index so you know just what kind of fiery ride you’re in for." — Ashley English, author of Handmade Gatherings and A Year of Pies

    “
    A must-have for home chefs who adore the wonders of fermentation and believe any dish is elevated by a dose of heat.” — Tara Whitsitt, founder of Fermentation on Wheels
