This book is primarily about tempeh production. If you enjoy eating tempeh but are put off by the high cost, this book is for you. For the price of a small 8-ounce package at the health food store, you can make pounds of tempeh at home. Shurtleff covers many tempeh variations using different beans, grains and seasonings.

The instructions are clear, both for home production and for community production, with lots of ideas for inexpensive incubators, tempeh forms, and hulling methods. (We incubate ours in the oven with the pilot light adjusted to a low flame.) Shurtleff also describes methods for producing tempeh starter, most of which are very simple and do indeed produce good-quality innoculant. (For your first starter, try GEM Cultures, 707-964-2922. Excellent service. Link below.)

Beyond the excellent basic cooking instructions, the majority of recipes in this book are Indonesian, with a few "hippy"-type recipes added. If you're looking for a comprehensive book of innovative tempeh dishes, look elsewhere.
