Join us in welcoming guest Culinary Explorer, Rich Shih as part of our Koji Demo and Dinner series. This is part 2 of a 3 Chef KOJI series where we will bring in one expert to discuss, work with and cook with koji.
As a passionate cook, Rich is constantly investigating techniques and processes in order to further develop a knowledge base for making delicious food. Ever the experimenter, he builds new flavors and texture combinations without the boundary of preconception as much as possible. He takes pride in making dishes with ingredients that may sound weird together, but ultimately make people happy when they taste the composition. He has constructed a culinary education by working with and befriending amazing folks who have in-depth knowledge of food ranging from chefs to farmers to scientists to grandmothers.
Check out his website for more information.
