Ingeniously built around the use of eight umami-rich ingredients—aged cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, soy sauce, miso, caramelized onions, smoke, and nutritional yeast—these 75 recipes are bursting with the sublime, savory fifth taste.
Turn mushrooms into “lardons” for a bold take on Southern black-eyed peas and greens. Caramelize onions to use in the best grilled cheese ever.

I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.This cookbook is designed with the vegetarian in mind, although there is a bonus section with fish recipes. Umami is a taste sensation, a breakdown of protein which results in a heightened sense of taste. The book is uniquely sectioned into categories titled by the…
