If your food feels like it’s missing something… it might not be salt. 👀
Chef Shefali explains umami — the 5th taste — and why it gives food that deep, savoury, satisfying flavour.
You’ll find it naturally in ingredients like shiitake, tomatoes, anchovies, seaweed, and soy sauce. And when you layer them properly into a dish, the flavour becomes richer, rounder, and more complete.
