This is a lovely and fun giveaway. I have a Laura Santtini Easy Tasty Italian & Taste #5 Umami Paste™ Kit to give away. The book is gorgeous and quirky, the paste took the media by storm earlier this year when announced. Add some to any dish that requires an umami punch and depth of flavour, it really works. Available exclusively from Waitrose, I have one set, and you just need to leave a comment to enter. The competition closes on Christmas Eve.
Here’s the blurb:
For a truly tasty Christmas, Waitrose has teamed up with flavour-expert Laura Santtini and created an inspired Christmas present or stocking filler for any in-the-know foodie or umami-enthusiast.
Exclusive to Waitrose, the specially created kit contains a copy of Laura’s award winning first cookery book Easy Tasty Italian and a tube of her groundbreaking flavour bomb™, Taste #5 Umami Paste™.
The kit provides the secrets behind umami with simple recipes showing how to make the most of the 5th taste sensation and a full size sample of the product that captures the pure, savoury deliciousness of umami.
To see Laura demonstrate a selection of recipes using Taste #5 Umami Paste please visit http://laurasanttini.com/umami.html

How lovely! I’ve seen this in Waitrose and think it’s a great kit. I fully volunteer to make some yummy umami pasta if I can have this please!!
That would be interesting – her ideas about flavours are fascinating.
Have a great Christmas, Niamh

New Year new cooking challenge…x
Amazing! and yet so simple, I would love to win this cookbook!!
Italians love discovering new foods and new way of preparing familiar dishes. Every year there’s more and more interest in the traditional cuisine of the various regions and in biological, environment friendly foods. Italian food for Italians is a reason of pride. You can recognize Italians abroad for their longing of typical dishes, pasta over every other. And you can see how dishearten they are when they try pasta outside Italy. Some upper class foreign restaurants have managed to master almost all the typical Italian dishes, but pasta still eludes them.
