Miso Book, The by Jan & John Bellame

The Miso Book is a comprehensive guide to this most delicious and healthy food. Part One begins with a chapter on miso basics—the different types, uses, and various manufacturing methods. A powerful chapter called "Miso Medicine" details this superfood's healing properties and its role in maintaining good health, along with eye-opening evidence supporting these claims. As an added bonus, Part One offers easy directions for making miso at home. Rounding out this section are a number of fascinating insets, including the authors' personal adventures in Japan, where they lived and worked with a traditional miso master. What follows in Part Two is an extensive recipe section that presents over 140 delectable, healthful recipes in which miso is used in dips and spreads, soups and stews, vegetable dishes, and so much more.
