I’ve been working on some new recipes for mushrooms, so I thought I share some of my notes.
All mushrooms are a high in the particular flavor known as umami. Umani is the fifth taste sense, often referred to as savory (the other tastes are sweet, salty, sour and bitter).
Umami itself is subtle and blends well with other tastes to expand and round out flavors. Most people don’t recognize umami when they encounter it, but it plays an important role making food taste delicious.
