The Foodmasters Ltd

Foodmasters are proud to announce an addition to their range of gourmet foods with the launch of another fantastic Laura Santtini Umami product.
Continuing the success of Taste #5 Umami Paste, London restauranteur and well known food writer Laura Santtini has developed another kitchen must have for aspiring chefs everywhere. In association with renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Laura has created Taste #5 Umami Far Eastern Recipe, a vegetarian flavour bomb, guaranteed to transform any dish into a culinary delight.
Whereas her original Taste #5 relied on Italian flavours such as porcini mushrooms and anchovies, the new paste incorporates flavours such as miso, green tea, shitake mushrooms, ginger and soy sauce, all perfectly blended to spice up sushi or a stir fry.

Foodmasters are pleased to announce that Taste No.5 Umami Paste and Gia products are now available to buy online in the Grocery section at www.Amazon.co.uk.

The Foodmasters Ltd are proud to announce that they are the UK importers of Taste #5 Umami Paste. Developed by renowned food writer Laura Santtini, who says: “Umami is part of our everyday eating lives, it is just that many of us don’t know what to call it. It is what gives depth of flavour to food. Every food culture has its umami-rich ingredients, whether it is seaweed in Japan or Parmesan in Italy.”
Umami was discovered 102 years ago by a Japanese scientist, it is known as the “fifth taste” and is the secret to making anything taste fantastic. Up until recently, it was was the exclusive preserve of Michelin starred restaurants (the taste features in a number of dishes at Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck in Bray), but the revolutionary paste is now available on the UK high street, sold by Waitrose and Booths.
