There are two meanings to the verb, to ferment, and Tara Whitsitt embodies them both.
Not only is she an accomplished culinary artist who makes her own yogurt, kimchi, vinegar, and sourdough bread; she ferments — or stirs up — interest in these cultured foods through her project, Fermentation on Wheels.
