Miso Tasty is the first book of its kind exploring the great variety and versatility of this ancient soybean paste, which is fast becoming a vital ingredient in every cook's kitchen. As diets become more focused on being wholesome and nutritious, Miso Tasty will give the health-conscious cook ideas that honour the ultimate original superfood: miso.

Miso paste is often bought on a whim, usually to make miso soup, but often it languishes in the cupboard thereafter, with many cooks unsure what else they can do with it. But miso is full of possibilities. Here, 60 colourful recipes are shared on how best to cook with miso; from the classic dishes such as miso black cod, nasu dengaku and the perfect miso ramen, to modern applications of miso to boost the umami in everyday dishes such as smothering miso butter over hot toast or rubbed into roasted sweetcorn.

Miso is for adventurous cooks who want to expand their repertoire of Japanese dishes through a deeper understanding of miso. It is also for the 'food geek' eager to learn about the regional nature of miso making, as well as instructions on how to make their own miso at home.

Miso is the first book of its kind to present the backstory of this ancient ingredient, as a way of making it relevant to the modern day cook. Recipes range from how to recreate the classic dishes enjoyed at Japanese restaurants to more innovative applications which will make you review its role in the kitchen; not just for soups, but also as a dressing, marinade and spread that will see you collecting a whole range of miso to support your new-found enthusiasm!
