Review“They say a gram of koji contains millions of spores. Shih and Umansky equal that with insights, bringing scientific understanding to koji’s magical powers of transformation (without spoiling any of the magic). Koji Alchemy is an immensely informative read.”―Dan Barber, chef/co-owner, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns; author of The Third Plate“I have always been intrigued by the technical and thoughtful fermentation practices of many cultures. Reading Koji Alchemy has opened my eyes to how simple working with koji can actually be, while remaining incredibly innovative and exciting. This book is not only full of information, it’s scientific, and most of all thrilling. It’s a great reminder that we all have a lot to learn about the art of fermentation.”―Daniel Boulud, chef and restaurateur, Daniel“Before this book, what Jeremy and Rich have done with food I would’ve thought impossible. As someone who has always had a deep love for the curing, brining, aging, and smoking of meat, I would have never thought these time-honored processes could be sped up without producing lesser results. Well, was I ever proven wrong. To take an ingredient like koji, which has been available and used for hundreds of years, and use it to speed up processes like pastrami and still maintain its integrity is truly astonishing. In Koji Alchemy, they show you what to me feels like magic, and guide you through every step so you can now make dishes at home or at your restaurants that would have previously taken not only lots of time but also space. They have opened my mind to koji’s limitless uses and will do the same for you. Jeremy and Rich, thank you for always pushing culinary boundaries and reminding us all that there is something new to learn and be inspired by every day.”―Chef Michael Symon“Science is a very useful resource for understanding food, and, very importantly, it shows us how to make better food. This book succeeds in ‘translating’ the language of science and its practical applications to everyday users. Exploiting and harnessing the effects that microorganisms have on food is a great tool that any cook can add to their repertoire, and Koji Alchemy will show you how. I hope Merriam-Webster adds the word ‘kojify’ to the dictionary soon.”―Francisco Migoya, head chef, Modernist Cuisine“Koji Alchemy is the most in-depth study on the subject that I’ve ever seen. As someone basically starting at zero, I’m inspired to dig in and learn from the masters.”―Jeremy Fox, author of On Vegetables“Rich and Jeremy have dedicated years to researching and experimenting with both traditional and utterly novel uses for koji. With Koji Alchemy, they open their notebooks to the rest of us, sharing their deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm for this remarkable mold. This book, at once comprehensive and approachable, will prove invaluable to any curious cook looking to make more flavorful food, reduce kitchen waste, or experiment at the frontier of an exciting world of fermentation.”―Dan Souza, editor-in-chief, Cook’s Illustrated“Alchemist, chef, and master charcutier, Jeremy Umansky is the Albert Einstein of koji. Koji Alchemy―his book with Rich Shih, a first-rate koji explorer―is fascinating, hunger-inducing, and the final word on the spore responsible for miso, soy sauce, sake, and so much more.”―Steven Raichlen, host, PBS’s Project Fire and Project Smoke“Like a magician revealing their tricks, Koji Alchemy has lifted the veil on the complex nature of some of the world’s most beloved foods. The authors brilliantly demystify the ‘alchemy,’ giving the reader a straightforward view into the world of koji’s secrets. Never before has a book broken down the building blocks of koji and its products so completely and in such a useful way in the kitchen.”―Kyle Connaughton, chef and owner, SingleThread Farms“Rich and Jeremy have done an amazing job in creating an indispensable manual for both home cooks and pro chefs. Koji Alchemy offers a fresh set of transformative cooking fundamentals and a master class on fermentation.”―Rick Tramonto, executive chef and vice president of culinary operations, Tramonto Cuisine Group“It’s not every day that deeply passionate, creative, and collaborative people take on the demystification of a revered ingredient. But herein lies just that: a truly educational, comprehensive, and delicious exploration of one of the most versatile molds out there. So grateful for this book.”―Cortney Burns, chef; author of Nourish Me Home and coauthor of Bar TartineRead moreAbout the AuthorJeremy Umansky is a chef/owner of Larder: A Curated Delicatessen & Bakery in Cleveland, Ohio, nominated by the James Beard Foundation as the Best New Restaurant in America in 2019.
