This recipe using Shichimi Togarashi is from Ryan Riley & Kimberley Duke’s cookbook, Taste & Flavour. An an amazing resource which is free to download. It’s compiled by Life Kitchen – a cook school originally set-up for people with cancer, whose ability to taste has been affected by their treatment. The school helped during the Covid pandemic when people suffered loss of taste as a side effect.
The theory is to use five elements to help people to enjoy food again. These are aroma, umami, texture, layering, and trigeminal food sensations (the tingling, burning and cooling we get from spices).
