What is taste?
Explore the mystery of taste by discovering umami, this fascinating and little-known "fifth flavor." Through an in-depth and documented analysis, embark on a sensory journey that will reveal the secrets of our palate.
What if we relearned how to eat well?
Reconsider your relationship with food and discover what makes healthy, flavorful food. Explore the diversity of natural flavors and home cooking through a selection of 30 recipes showcasing the delicious richness of fresh ingredients, blending Japanese and Mediterranean traditions.
Why the umami book?
Because it was inspired and co-written by Keisuke Matsushima, a world expert on umami taste. And Kei is the super chef behind FuriFuri, which boasts this perfect balance of flavors.
This is an excellently well-researched book: the first half of the book is theoretical, on taste, umami and taste synergies, the cultural importance of umami, how to develop it (cooking, fermentation, maturation, etc.) and the nutritional and health aspects linked to umami. Followed by a selection of 30 recipes classified by season highlighting the delicious richness of fresh ingredients, between Japanese and Mediterranean traditions. Dashi and broths, Spanish tortilla with bacon and asparagus, sea bass cooked with herbs, vegetarian soup with mushrooms and kombu, chicken in cream with vegetables, Japanese-style minced steak (hambagu), keema curry or even fried tofu and peanut velouté.
