Description

"Fermentation is inherent to human survival" - Kenji Morimoto 

In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet the king of fermentation - Kenji Morimoto. 

On Kenji's menu is: Ozoni at New Year, Potluck at the Temple, and kimchi in Mumbai. On the side are share plates of Buddhism, what it's like being fourth-generation Japanese-American, the nuances of how intergenerational trauma plays out in food, and how you can make fruit mince pies into miso!! 

Kenji's social cause is building and maintaining community and memory through the lens of food and fermentation. You can grab his book Ferment, online or in book stores now!!
