When Adam Fleischman investigated, he discovered what they--and many other ultra-flavorful dishes have in common: umami. A renegade self-taught cook, Fleischman deployed this savory fifth dimension of taste to ratchet up flavor using ingredients naturally rich in umami, such as Parmesan, tomatoes, caramelized onions, and anchovy paste. In so doing, he created ultimate versions of icons, including Umami Burger with Port and Stilton, Sweet and Savory Brisket, and Parmesan Fondue. All the recipes are made from the same umami pantry ably explicated in the front of the book.--

Introduction

I m not the likeliest guy to have built a world around umami. Far from it, actually.

I taught myself how to cook mostly by screwing up. I didnt (and still dont) have much patience to read a recipe or a cookbook in detail and follow the directions step by step. Instead I have a little bit of a beginners mind-set when I pick up a recipe. Take, for example, a recipe for meatloaf. I look at it as if Ive never seen a recipe for meatloaf before, absorb its nuances, and then I forget most of the details after I turn away from the book. Once I start cooking and making mistakes, thats when I start learning.

I started cooking because I love to eat. I went from eating out at all the restaurants in town to devouring all the cookbooks I could get my hands on to re-create the magic in my own kitchen.

Heston Blumenthal, the chef and owner of The Fat Duck in Berkshire, England, had a huge influence on the way I cook. I watched his shows religiously, especially In Search of Perfection, where he would deconstruct classic recipes to learn how they worked, then reconstruct and refine them. He had a perfectionist streak that I related to.

Blumenthal was also critical for something else: He introduced me to umami in the mid-2000s. The discovery of umami goes back way farther than that, to 1908, when a Japanese scientist named Kikunae Ikeda put a name to the savory, meaty flavor that gives foods like cheeses and mushrooms their extra oomph. At The Fat Duck, Blumenthal took umami-rich ingredients and put his spins on them.

Despite all the newfangled, fancy chef-y things that were happening with umami, it was the simple burger that brought its importance home to me. I was at In-N-Out Burger, one of the bestif not the bestclassic American burger chains in L.A., when it hit me: Deconstruct a burger and what do you get? A nicely seared patty, melted cheese, caramelized onions, tomatoes, ketchup. These are all umami ingredients, I realized, stacked one right on top of another and stuck between two buns.

I considered another super-popular food that Americans love: pizza. Pizza also is packed with umami ingredients. At the most basic level, after all, most pizzas are rich tomato sauce plus melted mozzarella cheese, both high in umami. Throw on a topping like mushrooms or sausage and you have even more umami.

Its absolutely no coincidence that burgers and pizzas are such popular, beloved American foods. They are umami bombs. What people crave isnt a burger or a pizza. What people crave is within the burger or the pizza: the seared meat, the cheese, the tomato sauce. What we crave is umami. The burger bun and pizza crust essentially function as neutral carb bases for convenient flavor delivery.

Once I realized this, I knew I wanted to create a restaurant that delivered umami bombs in every bite. It would deeply satisfy and inspire cravings at the same time. I liked the idea of juxtaposing something conceptual and sophisticated with something commonplace. If I could sell a burger or a pizza with high-quality ingredients for, say, $10, something super flavorful, something full of umami, I might be able to make the idea work, especially in a town like L.A.

Bringing Umami Home

T o round up ingredients rich in umami, I went to Mitsuwa , a Japanese grocery in West L.A., and threw anything and everything that looked savory into my basket. Bottles of light and dark soy sauce, bottles of fish sauce, bottles of Maggi Liquid Seasoning. Bags of dried fish heads and dried mushrooms. Little jars of seaweed powder, a jar of bonito flakes. Packets of dashi (the base for Japanese broth), squat containers of miso. (All these things are available in Asian markets, some supermarkets, and online. In , I tell you where to find them.)
