My First Podcast!
I was interviewed by Karen Unland for her Seen & Heard in Edmonton podcast. So if you are interested in learning more about me or about the blog, head on over to the podcast!
I love how I am introduced by Karen as the “macaron maven and ardent home cook who invites us into her kitchen on Beyond Umami”. Of course, I talk about blogging, food and macarons in the podcast.
What is Umami?
Umami is the lesser known ‘5th taste’ sense; with salty, sweet, sour and bitter being the four tastes. Umami can be described as being found in foods such as wasabi, soya sauce, dashi, an aged steak. If you are interested, here is an article in the Oxford Journal talking about The Discovery of Umami. Can you think of any other foods that has umami in them?
