‘As a fan of Bonnie Chung’s approach and palate … I’m delighted to have this beautiful new edition. Of course (and partly through Chung’s efforts) miso is a much more familiar and widely accessible ingredient than it was over here a decade ago. I love its rich, deep savouriness with an almost indefinable caramelly undertone, and draw on it often when I cook; Chung is spot-on in labelling it The Secret Weapon and this book, as well as explaining the science and history of miso, is an excellent guide as to how to wield it.’ – Nigella Lawson‘This book is everything I could wish for and more! A brilliant celebration of miso – expertly written, deeply knowledgeable, and endlessly inspiring. This ingredient belongs in every kitchen, and Bonnie shows us exactly why – with creativity, knowledge, and heart.’ – Crystelle Pereira‘What a stunning, in-depth, and thoughtful celebration of miso. Beyond the beautiful recipes, captivating stories, and evocative photos, it’s Bonnie’s time, dedication, and deep reflection on miso as an ingredient that make this book so special.’ – Kenji Morimoto‘This book brings me so much joy! Bonnie is the undisputed queen of miso. She opened my eyes to using miso as a universal flavour booster – the ‘secret weapon’, as she calls it. Whenever I feel there is something missing or lacking in my food, I reach for miso. A must-read for the aspiring as well as the seasoned chef!’ – Jonathan Hope‘This is a love letter to the world’s greatest seasoning. A thorough guide through the past, present, and future of miso, by one of its most dedicated advocates. Full of delightful, delicious surprises, whether you’re a miso newbie or a seasoned miso pro.’ – Tim Anderson
