Format:Mass Market Paperback
This excellent book contains detailed information about practically anything you could want to know about miso: different varieties, nutritional information, history, production methods (both ancient and modern), detailed instructions in every step of making different varieties of homemade miso in small or large scale, and hundreds of recipes using miso, from East and West. Plus a lot of other interesting information related to miso, soybeans, and soybean products.
I've personally made hundreds of pounds of miso, using the instructions in this book, and the results have always been great. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to make their own miso at home, or for those who just wants to know anything there is to know about miso.

Miso hungry? Make some miso soup...
10 Mar 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is a real classic (mine is soup-stained from years of use.)
It is actually surprising how easy it is to make that cup of warm, cloudy soup you get in the sushi bar. The only problem is the dashi (fish broth) that is commercially available. It is usually loaded with MSG. You can make your own broth from bonito flakes per this book, if you have a Japanese grocery, but if you don't have a Japanese grocery or don't eat fish, vegetable broth works just fine with a dash of soy sauce.
This book has many, many soup ideas, as well as some delicious Asian noodle recipes, and uses for miso that replace things like cheese. The meaty taste of miso results from natural amino acids, which provide the savory flavor similar to meats and cheeses. If you are becoming vegetarian, miso can replace that familiar taste.

Contains everything you could ever want to know about miso!
8 Jun 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Confused by 6 different kinds of miso at your store? This book explains 17 kinds, how each is made, nutritional analysis, what to use each kind for. Over 100 pages of general info plus 500 pages of recipes. My well-worn copy is dated 1976 and it's still being reprinted! This book is one of my most frequently used cooking references. Excellent!

One of the Best Health Books You can Buy!
10 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
As a full-time athlete and conscious eater, this book was my savior. This is not only the bible on miso as the key to a healthy vegetarian diet, but also the bible on great living and world consciousness through your food choices. Miso matches meat in protein yet has almost no fat. This book allows the reader to make excellent, economical and tasty choices on how to include miso in one's daily diet. I have been very happy with my discovery of this book a few years ago. Since then I have felt strong and healthy without feeling the pressure of eating meat. The history, recipes and other info are very well written and well researched. The authors are ahead of their time and there is no doubt that miso will soon become a much greater part of the average western diet. I highly reccomend this book to everyone who cares about their own health and the health of the planet. Have a good read!
