One of Epicurious' 12 Best Gift Ideas for the Vegetarian in Your Life
“Umami Bomb is your go-to guide for infusing every meal with deliciousness….Thanks to Raquel’s clever ideas and the abundant flavor in her smart, streamlined recipes, this book is set to become a kitchen classic.” —Lindsay Maitland Hunt, author of Healthyish and Help Yourself
Ingeniously built around the use of eight umami-rich ingredients—aged cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, soy sauce, miso, caramelized onions, smoke, and nutritional yeast—Umami Bomb's 75 recipes are bursting with the sublime, savory fifth taste—and they're vegetarian!
Turn mushrooms into “lardons” for a bold take on Southern black-eyed peas and greens. Caramelize onions to use in the best grilled cheese ever. Add a secret spoonful of soy sauce to the frosting of your next chocolate cake—the soy taste disappears but leaves behind an unexpected depth of flavor. Part of the brilliance of Umami Bomb is how the recipes layer these key ingredients to amplify their effect—like adding miso to an already cheesy cacio e pepe sauce for pasta so savory and delicious you’ll do a double take.
Umami Bomb "addresses the “depth” issue for vegetarian cooks with a love letter to umami… [Pelzel's] insanely next-level grilled cheese recipe deploys two umami bombs — miso and caramelized onions — and, dare I say, is as satisfyingly decadent as a burger." —Jenny Rosenstrach, A Cup of Jo

“This satisfying and handy take on the fifth taste will please vegetarians and omnivores alike.”
—Publishers Weekly
"Cookbook author Raquel Pelzel is "always interested in ways to make my vegetables taste extra, deeply, boldly, intensely, fantastically, rich-savory-comforting-eyes-roll-back-in-your-head awesome." Yes, please! Because Pelzel doesn't eat much meat (above all for environmental reasons), she explains, she went on a quest to identify as many plant-and dairy-based sources of umami as possible... and developed 75 unbelievably flavorful recipes to harness these."
—Food52, #1 Best Cookbook of Fall 2019
"I was delighted to discover Umami Bomb by Raquel Pelzel. Pelzel, a longtime food editor, addresses the “depth” issue for vegetarian cooks with a love letter to umami... Her insanely next-level grilled cheese recipe deploys two umami bombs — miso and caramelized onions — and, dare I say, is as satisfyingly decadent as a burger."
—Jenny Rosenstrach, A Cup of Jo
"The food in this book is cheesy and smoky and earthy and packed with miso, mushrooms, and soy sauce—and (surprise!) it's all vegetarian."
—Epicurious
"The 75 recipes that make up Umami Bomb prove that meatless meals can be as unforgettably flavorful as meat-filled ones."
—PureWow
