‘Pascal Baudar is a culinary visionary.’ Sandor Ellix Katz, author of New York Times bestseller The Art of Fermentation

Award-winning author and forager Pascal Baudar uncovers incredible flavours and inspiring recipes to create unique, delicious vinegars. Wildcrafted Vinegars includes more than 100 simple recipes for quick vinegars, pickles, soups, sauces, salad dressings, beverages, desserts, jams and more!

In his latest book, Wildcrafted Vinegars, pioneering food expert Pascal Baudar continues his exploration into wild gastronomy, turning his attention this time to the unique world of vinegars. After covering yeast fermentation in The Wildcrafting Brewer and lactic acid fermentation in Wildcrafted Fermentation, Baudar completes his wild fermentation trilogy by tackling acetic acid ferments and the wide array of dishes you can create with them. Baudar delves deep into the natural world for wild-gathered flavors: herbs, fruits, berries, roots, mushrooms – even wood, bark and leaves – that play a vital part in infusing distinctive gourmet-quality vinegars.

Wildcrafted Vinegars is packed with more than 100 recipes including:

• Pine, fir, and spruce–infused vinegar
• Smoked mushroom and seaweed vinegar
• Blueberry-mugwort vinegar
• Wilder curry vinaigrette
• Wasabi ginger vinegar sauce
• Pickled walnuts
• And many more

Once you’ve mastered the basics for making and aging vinegars at home, you’ll be inspired to experiment on your own, finding local plants that express the unique landscape and terroir of where you live. Or you might decide to forage for ingredients in your own garden or at a local farmers market instead. Either way, Pascal Baudar will be your guide to creating safe, responsible and delicious vinegars and ferments.
