Well, I tried to keep it a secret….but…I am now using this in so many recipes that I couldn't do it to you all…so it now appears in all my books as it has become the iconic pantry (fridge) ingredient to have handy.

What is Umami? I am asked this quite often. Umami, or savouriness, is one of the five basic tastes. It has been described as savoury and is characteristic of broths and cooked meats. People taste umami through taste receptors that typically respond to glutamates and nucleotides, which are widely present in meat broths and fermented products.

If you are new to Umami, it is the fifth flavour and it is amazing how much depth it adds to savoury dishes. Try it in anything that is a sauce, soup, braise, curry, you name it, umami it! It is fantastic whipped into fresh butter with parsley and lemon juice, rolled, sliced and plopped on top of cooked fish or steak…you will never look back. SO let your imagination run wild, and get addicted…it is the addictive flavour in all the 'bad' foods you love, but wish you didn't. Well now you can love them again and they will love you back!

This recipe is from scratch, develops more flavour over time and has nothing unknown in it! …oh yes, 'You're welcome!'
