Finally Back in Print!!!, 7 Dec 2001

This review is from: The Book of Tempeh (Paperback)
I've searched in vain for a used copy of this for years, and was resigned to never seeing it again after moving away from the city with the library I always checked it out of.
An Amazing book! It has both modern and traditional Indonesian methods of producing Tempeh, along with an explanation of how to make Tempeh on a large scale.
There are instructions for making not only Soy, but many other kinds of tempeh, along with explanations of how to use it in Western and Eastern cooking. (and tips on basic indonesian cooking)
The book is full of great info, beautiful line drawings and wonderful recipes. Great for both people who want to learn how to cook with tempeh, those who want more versatile ways to prepare it, and those ambitious souls who want to make their own.
Also check out Shurtless and Aoyagi's Book of Tofu and book of Miso. They know their stuff.

Awesome book - EVERYTHING you'd want to know about tempeh., 4 Dec 2010

I got really into tempeh-making for a while and not only is the this the only book I could find out there about tempeh-making but it is a really thorough read. It covers everything from nutrition to socio-economic impact to every possible way of making tempeh in small amounts and large, in a home-setting and in a more pro setting. It also has tons of troubleshooting ideas. Love it.

Very clear explanation, 5 Jun 2011

This review is from: Tempeh Production (Paperback)
I came from Indonesia, "tempeh country". For me tempeh is my food, I ate since maybe I could eat solid food. Very common, people never thought how to make tempeh. You always can buy anytime and cheap. When I moved to America, I didn't find tempeh like I always ate and fresh..with the smell so nostalgic. My husband found in library THE BOOK OF TEMPEH (same author)and I learned how to make tempeh from that book. I did...then now, I confident enough to say, my tempeh is really good. Because all my friends in here says...my tempeh different and taste better. Thanks Bill !!!!!
So, we have plan...in our retire live in Mainland (maybe countryside PA) we will make tempeh company. I bought this book and my husband said, very clear the explanation about machine, room, etc.
Recommended if you want to make your tempeh store.
