Food History & Fermentation w/ Dr. Julia Skinner

Seeds & Weeds Podcast

Which came first - beer or bread? Let's explore fermentation, the history of food, and the work of Dr. Julia Skinner.
Julia Skinner is a food historian, educator and founder of Roots, a fermentation and food history company that bridges the gap between modern people and historic food. Dr. Skinner holds a PhD in Library and Information Science and is the only historian or food writer in the US to win two 40 under 40 awards in one year. Julia is joining us on the show today to talk about her fermented life.
We're talking about Julia's book, Our Fermented Lives; A History of How Fermented Foods Have Shaped Cultures & Communities. We'll also dig into her latest projects, The Culinary Curiosity School and The Fermentation Oracle. Bevin draws a card from the oracle.. and you won't believe what happens!
