A couple months ago I was telling a couple friends at work about how I like to make tempeh, and both requested some the next time I made it. Of course I proceeded to screw up the next batch (I was trying a peanut mix, and the mold ignored the peanuts, knitting the soybeans around the peanuts together but leaving the peanuts loose and alone in the matrix. I think I overcooked the peanuts), but a few weeks later yet, I made another batch of just plain soybean tempeh, and it turned out quite nice. Both friends reported liking it, and with enough detail of how they had cooked the tempeh so that I believed their assessments.
