I'd recommend (a bit aside) something on fermentation, if you're not already into it. Like The art of fermentation from Sandor Katz. But that's something else you've been asking for.

I did my own cabinet for fun, but it was too small so I could make like... nothing. wasn't bad, but professional equiptment makes whole lot different results. so I gave up. (and had the plants just for decoration. until they died) as with any fermentation it was a lot of trial and error. it was fun!
