TK – ROCKIE is BACK.
Hi Everyone. Yes indeed – i get my Roquefort project back. I m dealing with koji so much nowadays… and that’s a mould with spores and doing its thing. Well, there are the other ‘edible’ moulds from all around – and i m curious to learn just as much of them as about koji. Let’s…

TEST KITCHEN – Chickpeese’

Test Kitchen – veg’fudge?

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…
