Miso Making Kit - with free recipes

Miso is an essential ingredient in my daily life. It’s akin to a cup of tea but with a multitude of rich nutrients, a deep umami savoury flavour and a habitual drink to both start your day or accompany every meal with.

The fine powder or paste is produced from fermenting soybeans with koji (a fermented rice) with the unique flavour developing over several months – like a good cheese or a fine wine. There are various types of miso, the pastes offer a milder flavour with subtle balanced salty sweet notes, whereas drying to a powder intensifies the rich, nutty savouriness.

Japanese food culture embraces miso as an essential for daily health and we say that if you drink miso soup every day you will never need a doctor. In this book I want to encourage you to introduce these incredible health benefits and the delicious, nurturing warmth of this soup into your daily meal prep. I’m going to show you how to “rev up” your miso, enjoy it in many different ways and even make this humble broth into a nourishing meal in a cup!
