Биография

Sandor Ellix Katz (born 1962) is a culinary author, DIY food activist and self-described "fermentation fetishist". He has taught hundreds of fermented food workshops around the United States and his book Wild Fermentation has been called a classic,[1] "the bible for people embarking on DIY projects like sourdough or sauerkraut",[2] and "especially notorious for getting people excited about fermenting food".[3] In 2009, he was named one of Chow magazine's top trendsetters and rabble-rousers.[4] Katz, who is openly gay,[5] grew up in New York City and now lives in a rural, off-the-grid Radical Faerie community in Tennessee.[2][6] He was the subject of the 2009 song by the punk rock band Propagandhi, "Human(e) Meat (The Flensing of Sandor Katz)," a satirical vegan response to Katz's 2006 chapter on "Vegetarian Ethics and Humane Meat" in The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved.
