🍲 Ingredients

Umami Powder: Umami is one of my go-tos in my kitchen. It’s rich, earthy, and savory, and features porcini and shiitake mushrooms complimented with onion, mustard, thyme and a hint of chili pepper spice. Seriously adds so much delicious flavor to any recipe!

Asparagus: Asparagus are a great source of nutrients, such as fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K. It can also help improve your digestion.

🤔 Common Questions

Where do I find puff pastry?

You’ll almost always find it in the frozen aisle at your grocery store. Look around the frozen pies and baked goods. 

Why does asparagus make my pee smell?

Asparagus have aspargusic acid. This acid is only found in asparagus and when the asparagus is digested, this acid breaks down into sulfur. Sulfur generally has a smell similar to rotten eggs.

When are asparagus in season?

This is dependent on the climate in your region but usually in the springtime, asparagus is in-season and the best. However, you can find it year-round imported from other countries.
