Danny Berke

Danny Berke is the creator of Insane in the Brine, a fermentation, pickling and food blog (insaneinthebrine.com), and author of Insane in the Brine: The Official Cookbook. Always a lover of home gardening, his abundant produce led him to discover methods of food preservation. Coupled with his many experiences teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) overseas and with international students in the US, he continually sought to not only broaden his knowledge of international cuisine, but to creatively explore how fermentation and other food augmentation practices could (or already do) play a role in these foods. His works are a culmination of these journeys.
