With fun explanations and playful characters, the book shows how microbes affect our health - some can make us sick, while others keep us strong and help us digest our food. Kids will also discover that it is microbes that help us to make fermented foods like bread, yogurt, and cheese, how they work in the soil to help plants grow, and how they act as nature’s little cleaners, keeping our planet fresh and healthy. Packed with curious facts and lively drawings, this book makes the invisible world of microbes exciting, friendly, and unforgettable.
Miroslav Gantar, a retired professor of Microbiology from Florida International University in Miami, dedicated much of his career to the study of algae (Algology). But why a cookbook about salmon? The answer lies in color. Salmon’s distinctive pink hue comes from astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant pigment originally produced by algae and passed along through the food chain. For Dr. Gantar, this discovery created a natural bridge between his lifelong fascination with algae and his newfound interest in cuisine. Inspired by both science and flavor—and with the support of AI technology—Countless Ways to Prepare Salmon was born.
