Umamirich ingredients will add magic to any dish, and make great cooks out of all of us.In this book, youll discover extraordinary new flavor combinations in dishes such as Steak Tagliata, Umami Rub and Garlic Pesto; Dark Chocolate and Orange Chilli Con Carne; and Sunshine Laksa with Crab, Snow Peas, and Millet.

I wanted to love this book, but the recipes often didn’t deliver the savory flavors promised. I tried the beef stir-fry, and it was pretty bland. Maybe it just didn't work for my taste, but I expected more from the 'umami' theme. Kind of a letdown for me.

Great ideas, but lacks depth
I’ve tried a few dishes from this book, and while they are tasty, I found the instructions a bit vague at times. Also, the photos could be better; they don’t do justice to how delicious the food looks. It’s good for quick weeknight meals, though!

A Must-Have for Home Cooks!
I love this cookbook! The recipes are super easy to follow, and each one is packed with flavor. I made the miso ramen last night, and it turned out fantastic—definitely a hit at the dinner table. If you enjoy experimenting with tastes, this is a treasure!

Good but not what I expected
The recipes are decent, but I was hoping for more variety. Some of the dishes felt a bit too similar, so it didn’t fully unlock the magic I was looking for. Still, I enjoyed making a few of them, just wish there were more unique options.
