Interview: Dr Julia Skinner

Chloe sat down to speak with Dr. Julia Skinner, a food historian and fermentation educator, about her book Our Fermented Lives. Listen as they discuss the nature of food history research, the microbial and human communities that develop around fermentation and how the restorative qualities of ferments go far beyond the promises of wellness culture.

Dr Julia Skinner has also shared a few fermentation recipes in our paid newsletter. Paid subscribers support Sourced by funding the fees we pay for articles on this website. Sign up here to support the content you love!
