Description of contents

The book “Fermentino” came into being with the aim of bringing order and scientific validation to a new product called fermentino, made of a few simple ingredients, which is the answer of Italian gastronomic tradition to the growing demand for natural foods of vegetable origin.

After an introductory section on chemistry and the history of fermentation, the book focuses on the scientific and technical bases of these preparations, highlighting their potential and widespread uses. The work consists of 27 recipes for fermentino, curated by chef Daniela Cicioni.

For Daniela Cicioni, being a chef is a path of inspiration and a mission, that of guaranteeing quality and a completely natural message, aimed at respect for the environment and its characteristics.

Today Daniela Cicioni is one of the top experts in Italy on raw and vegan cuisine, on which she had the opportunity to work alongside Chef Pietro Leemann. After her experience as chef at Centro Botanico in Milan, she has been a freelance chef, or “cook without a restaurant” as she describes herself, since 2012. Since 2013 she has been a speaker at Identità Naturali, as part of the Identità Golose congress.
