Description

Where does rot end and revelation begin? In Adventures in Fermentation, scientist-chef Dr Johnny Drain explores the fizzing frontier where microbes transform food, flavour and the future. Each week he swaps stories and experiments with chefs, scientists, artists and other oddballs—revealing how bacteria, yeasts and moulds shape culture, climate, medicine and taste. Expect sharp science, global tales, recipe tips and the occasional explosive pickle. Pull up a jar, hit subscribe, and dive in.
