This Month's Fare
Get Grilling with Kikkoman
Memorial Day is here at last—time to roll out the grill! This year, the holiday falls on May 28th, and since May is National Hamburger Month, you'll have plenty of time to try out some new burger recipes and pick your favorites for the big day.
Asian Flavors
Asian specialty ingredients add instant sophistication and appeal to a variety of dishes. After learning the basics from this guide, you'll be able to create new and delicious recipes or add an Asian touch to an old favorite.
Umami
Until recently, Western taste physiology experts traditionally talked about four basic flavors: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. But the Japanese include a fifth flavor: umami ("oo-ma-mee").
Tools of the Trade
Good kitchen tools are to a home cook what a well-supplied toolbox is to a carpenter. A pot wouldn't be used to fry an egg, just as a saw would be the wrong tool for driving a nail into wood.
