Umami - the 5th tasting sense in Italian cooking

Until 100 years ago the accepted fundamental tastes were sweet, e.g. sugar, salty e.g. anchovies, bitter e.g. coffee and sour e.g. lemon. Then umami, the 5th taste was brought in by a Japanese scientist; umami means tasty (saporito) - the most important taste sensation of them all. The concept of the 5th taste is now being recognised by us here in the West and Italian cooking uses lots of umami food, such us truffles, mushrooms, parmesan, Parma ham, tomatoes, anchovies etc..

All the recipes prepared during the class will follow this intriguing 5th taste.

Time: 10.30am - 2.00pm
