If you are a vegetarian, you can still enjoy the full-bodied depth of flavour that umami paste adds to a dish. Here are fish-free, nut free, gluten free and dairy-free variations. These recipes appeared in my Keeping it Simple cookbook as I was asked often about alternatives...so finally, (several years later) here they are. Get the flavour bomb happening!
