Review: Brilliant!! - This is a book filled with a wealth of wisdom and experience. I have never made any of these before but do dabble with anaerobic fermentations, kombucha , kefir etc I really liked the idea of having a go at this and having one clear source to turn to . This book is it. It clearly sets out everything you need to know and in a couple of weeks I am producing impressive quantities of fermented quality products. Fresh tempeh is delicious ...gentle, nutty with a hint of mushrooms. It freezes really well too ! As I write I have "soya tempeh with chestnuts" fermenting happily away! I live in the UK and have had no problem at all buying lab quality starters cheaply for Tempeh ,Natto and Koji all online. And of course Non GMO organic beans . It really is a step-by -step guide but also a generous sharing of years of experience and experimentation. There are over 400 pages with background and hugely interesting information on every bit of the subject and recipes to get you started and familiar with the basics. I was apprehensive at first thinking it would be too difficult to do at home but I am smitten after instant success with tempeh with no special equipment at all in my kitchen at home. I have since made an investment in a folding bread proofer which will more consistently allow control of the incubation temperatures and allow me to more confidently work my way through the other tasty ferments on offer here ie natto,koji,miso (in so many forms ..who knew !) and other umami pastes and sauces. This book empowers you to go beyond the basics by being so warm,encouraging but most importantly clear in its instruction and bountiful in its advice. If you are interested in this area of fermentation I cannot recommend this book enough you will need no other. Its also has a really attractive layout and is well bound with good quality finished paper. I'm delighted with it:)) Thank you to the authors who give up their advice and experience so enthusiastically. Review: Bought just for the Tempeh content and well worth it - Having successfully started making Tempeh at home based on hints, tips and method from the internet I was in two minds as to whether it was worth buying this book as well. It really was. Compared to internet articles which are often "do this then that" and then some other article is "do this different thing and not that" this book brings together and discusses the various alternatives plus making clear recommendations. I got the most value from the discussion on non-soy-based tempeh's. Highly recommended. (note: I only read the tempeh sections). ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 149,598 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 151 in Preserving Food 491 in Vegetarian Food 1,283 in Healthy Eating | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 439 Reviews | ## Images ![Miso, Tempeh, Natto & Other Tasty Ferments: A Step-by-Step Guide to Fermenting Grains and Beans - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GB7NqLUkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant!! *by E***E on 18 June 2019* This is a book filled with a wealth of wisdom and experience.
