Rich was recently featured in the Boston Globe for using koji mold to make cookies and other delights. He's on a culinary quest to use the unique flavors of fermented foods in new ways, and to teach others how to do the same thing.
I'll be there talking about the microbiology of fermented foods, and how Lactobacilli are harnessed to make most traditional hotsauces, chutneys and other condiments. The last one of these I went to was a blast - the food was delicious and I learned a bunch. So grab a friend come join us!
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
