    Oishi Delish

    Why bother with measurements and keeping multiple ingredients if you can buy this perfectly balanced Oishi. It's a must for the Asian pantry

    A 5 star cooking class

    As a qualified chef myself, I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class: so simple to follow, my 14 year old daughter attended with me and she loved every moment. The techniques, methods and explanations are easy enough for the most amateur of cooks to follow. We enjoyed the class so much that we came home and made a family dinner the same night using what we had learned and then again for lunch the next day. I would highly recommend this class for those Korean food lovers. Forget K-drama, get into the art of Korean cooking. We'll done Rany on a fantastic class. We are looking forward to the next one.

    One of the best culinary experiences

    I recently attended the Korean BBQ class, and it was incredible. From the moment the class began, Rany made us feel at ease, expertly guiding us through the fundamentals of Korean BBQ with both humour and passion. The hands-on experience of marinating and grilling various meats was both fun and educational.
    Rany focused on showing us delicious dishes, with rich flavours, which surprisingly didn't make you slave away in the kitchen for hours.

    We learnt the art of balancing the complex flavours with the right side dishes and dipping sauces. Not only did I walk away with a newfound appreciation for Korean cuisine, but I also gained the skills to recreate a Korean BBQ feast at home! The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, yet informative, and the food was absolutely delicious. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned cook, it will be an unforgettable experience.

    P.s. The class will work perfectly for team building, year end functions, hosting international or any guests, as a celebratory gift, or just as an individual wanting to learn and have fun (I'm a true introvert but I never feel out of place in Rany's classes even when I go without friends).

    Definitely coming back

    Superb, absolutely learned lots of easy tricks for lifting my cooking. Realised that quality products used in Thai food raises the bar considerably for our home cooking (especially the fish sauce). This class has raised my confidence without a doubt, Rany made it look so simple, we will definitely attend the winter Ramen class.

    Golden liquid

    I recommend that you keep a stash hidden. If your family is anything like mine, Oishi sauce will be used on everything!

    A firm favourite

    This sauce along with the Umami Soy Sauce are my pantry staples- they're just soo good and work with a variety of dishes. This sauce adds so much depth to dishes

    Perfect class for team building

    I first attended dumpling class in 2019 and had a fantastic experience. So I booked this class for our team building. It turned out to be the perfect choice: the recipe was simple enough to learn while bonding and something everyone could easily recreate at home. All 15 ladies on my team loved it, and as always, the food was amazing. We had an absolute blast.

    Best pesto

    This pesto with avo on toast and roasted tomatoes or with grilled asparagus and artichokes or bulgar wheat and roast veggies it is so versatile . Well worth every cent

    Attended three times and loved all.

    I attended this class three times in 2023: with my children, my Exco team, and my colleagues. Apart from learning to make authentic, 100% plant-based KFC (nobody teaches that in SA!), it also allowed me to discover new aspects of people I thought I knew well. The class's focus on techniques, rather than just following recipes, letting me observe the quirky and personal sides of my companions. It was truly a delightful experience.

    Perfect platform to foster teamwork and camaraderie.

    I don't consider myself a foodie, yet this was a hit for our executive retreat. Though initially skeptical, I loved how cooking facilitated instant bonding in our team. Rany's personable style got everybody fully engaged and having fun right away even lacking culinary skills. The incredible fried chicken we whipped up from scratch astonished us all. It was so popular I booked another session for my team's year-end. Having secret recipes to impress my kids is an unexpected bonus!

    Every recipe is a winner. Stunning outcomes!

    After a week of cooking classes in Thailand, I returned to SA feeling defeated. Recreating those dishes seemed impossible with the ingredients at hand. I almost gave up on Thai cooking. But in just one class with Rany, all my doubts vanished. I learned more with her in this class than that week in Bangkok. Now, I'm thrilled! Thanks a million.

    Bursting with Umami flavour!

    This sauce is my secret weapon. It's just so delicious and is the perfect companion to meat. I love to rub Umami lemon salt pesto all over a steak and then glaze it with this. It is a marriage made in heaven. Another favourite way to use this sauce is to marinade avocado overnight and then serve it with sticky rice and a fried egg. Magic!

    Fun, Informative, Delicious

    The simplicity of the dishes makes it something that you know you will do again and again at home. It's not one of those classes that you'll do and then forget about.

    Great quality

    This chill powder is different from any other I had bought previously... it is a bit finer and very 'concentrated' for the lack of a better word. I use it in most dishes aswell as a sprinkle over certain foods. Yum

    Excellent product- amazing booster

    Tasty and energising- works well keeping sinuses clean

    A spicy flavour boost

    Very moreish ramen spice, slightly sweet, not too spicy, packed with flavour. I have had it in ramen for its intended use but its also great just as a flavour boost in stews and stir frys

    Everything is the best quality!

    I found out about Umami from a friend and decided to place an order.

    I am so impressed with everything in my order. The quality is fantastic and of the highest standard. The cordials make awesome gifts too !

    Will definitely be shopping with Umami regularly.

    Most flavourful products!

    I have been repeatedly buying my asian groceries from Umami for years for the flavour and quality of ingredients. Absolutely love!

    Great Experience!

    From the moment I placed my order I received excellent service. Communication was great and my delivery was quick and easy. Umami’s products are delicious and I am looking forward to tucking into my goodies.

    Delicious all the produce is just delicious

    Real Korean Kimchi

    I have ordered 3 containers. Half way through the first pot and already thinking of ordering more. It is really THAT good.
    Rani is also very friendly and offers great assistance and communication. Delivery was as scheduled.

    Simply delicious!

    I return time and time again to enjoy the cordials, pickles and gomashio. I also like to put together gifts using these items, makes for a lovely spoil of something different.
