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’
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…

Test Kitchen – veg’fudge?
Recently i enjoyed some mind-blowing koji parsnip for dinner. It was the ‘celebration’ dinner actually after the successful dry January and elimination diet… i cooked some very simple risotto and served it with koji inoculated parsnips. I am not going to lie at this point – after a dry month i got quite drunk with…

TEST KITCHEN – celeriac bacon?
Ok. How far your brain can go? How insane I can possibly be? How many people are hanging a roasted inoculated dehydrated smoked ages celeriac bulb in their bedroom loft? Do I really want to know? As I said before a couple of times – my ‘geniusness’ will be appreciated only after my death. Or…

TEST KITCHEN – 3rd nd 4th generations of kojeese
So after another failure with the 3rd generation, I might find the right one with the 4th try. Quickly what happened with the 3rd round. I f*cked it up by placing the rounds into a sushi mat (like I did before with my almond Roquefort) and being so amazed by its growing fluffy coat that…

TEST KITCHEN – cashew kojeese 2nd round
Apologies for the wait. My fluffy tablet crashed and i ‘kindof’ lost all my data (including my almost ready book) so i was struggling with the online part of my life recently. Anyways. So i did a second round of my cashew cheese project inoculated with koji spores. This time i was trying out some…

TEST KITCHEN – Koji’beet
So i tried another brilliant thing. Vegetable charcuterie. But it wasnt easy i tell you. Im reading a lot about koji and techniques right? Keep learning new things all the time. Got some brilliant books – one of them is Koji Alchemy from Jeremy Umansky, Rich Shih and Sandor Ellix Katz . Well they are…
