Koji Dinner happening in Chicago at Charlie Trotter's on Sept 28! Jeremy Umansky himself will be participating.

I convinced my boss to do a double date and expense it! 😆

I have made several batches of koji over the last two to three years or so, some more successful than others. To make my results more consistent I think it would be useful to log my steps. In case anyone is interested: https://cookingroffa.wordpress.com/2024/06/30/barley-koji/

Split pea tempeh in sweet and sour sauce. Yummy!

White miso made with fava beans and jasmine rice tastes sweet, salty, and is packed with umami. Fava beans give it a funky, creamy, buttery taste. The long fermentation process blends all the flavours together, making it rich and complex.

Going to miss this place, and this guy in particular. Whenever I'm back in Cleveland I'll be sure to stop by.

There's no place quite like Larder, and no one quite like Jeremy Umansky. Before I met him I was just a nerd with a garden, but the power of koji—presented by such a genuine and friendly person—has literally changed my life for the better.

May the microbes be with you, friend!

I found my miso-style doubanjiang while preparing for a move and finished the logbook!

This paste is really incredible, worth every one of the four years it was hiding behind my other ferments.

Jasmine rice koji for my upcoming batch of fava bean white miso. The aroma is truly incredible, featuring a delightful blend of ripe fruit, nutty, and mushroomy notes.
