So i did a second round of my cashew cheese project inoculated with koji spores. This time i was trying out some […]

• TEST KITCHEN – vegan nutji’ :)

  

  I used to make different nut blocks as a vegan alternative for dairy cheeses – you can see here back in the day.. . \i tried different molds already like roquefort and camembert – very interesting results here – but my real favourite was always a simple well seasoned lacto ferment. Now when i could […]

• TEST KITCHEN – COTTAGEESE’ part II.

  

  Still in proccess. Some notes on my Cottage cheese black rice koji. Was resting in the same jar for a month time. The weather was crazy – sometimes even 40 degrees so avoiding the ‘rancidity’ i placed the bottle in the fridge from time to time. Nice ‘cheese-juice’ developed on the bottom. * Put the […]

  Keep continue ‘KOJILAND’ post. So i was playing all around with amazakes – usually with a mistake of leaving it fermenting a touch longer than i wanted to. Sweet amazake: 1 part koji rice, 1 part steamed rice and 2 parts of water (for example, 250g koji rice with 250g steamed rice and 500g water) […]
