Sandor Katz
Sandor Ellix Katz (born 1962) is a culinary author, DIY food activist and self-described "fermentation fetishist." He has taught hundreds of food fermentation 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 as one of CHOW Magazine's "CHOW 13" - their 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 song "Human(e) Meat (The Flensing of Sandor Katz)" by punk rock band Propagandhi, a satirical vegan response to the "Vegetarian Ethics and Humane Meat" chapter of Katz's book The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved.
