TEST KITCHEN – Chickpeese’
Yes. Another try for a mouldy vegan cheeZe. But something a bit more sustainable than before. I mean I already made some delicious cashew koji cheese before – and lots of tofu experiments by growing mould on it (mao dofu) and macerating/ageing for a good while (dofuru) also curing in miso (misozuke) what did change…

I am not going to lie at this point – after a dry month i got quite drunk with…

Dear Diary :) – i started some weird sauces 5 months ago… by challenging myself to see what sort of surfaces I am able to grow koji on. Plus because I’m working in a bakery one thing I always have – LEFTOVER BREAD. So I was growing koji on sourdough, on brioche buns, croissants and…

TEST KITCHEN – Kojiriac’
Hello THere! I’m back with another interesting bit. You all remember I grew koji on beetroot not long time ago. I did it again – just using one of my big love as a vegetable – Mr Celeriac. I wanted to try this anyway – but also as a part of my koji-cooking-off menu for…
