Devoted authors Jeremy Umansky and Rich Shih share processes, concepts, and recipes for fermenting and culturing foods with this magical ingredient. Then they take it to the next level by describing how they rapidly age charcuterie, cheese, and other ferments, revolutionizing the creation of fermented foods and their flavor profiles for both chefs and home cooks.

With the added tips and expertise from their friends, Umansky and Shih have developed a comprehensive look at modern koji use around the world"-- Provided by publisher.
