There’s something deep in my soul that resists the idea of meal prep.
I was a super-obedient kid for my first handful of years, and I honestly think I used up my whole lifetime allotment of rule following before age 18.
So even when it’s ME setting the rules, all I want to do is break them.
Meal prep = Sunday Me telling Today Me what to eat, and I hate her.
You know who I love, though? I love Sunday Me who cooked down all the chaotic veggies in the fridge into a couple of little pots of gold that I can sprinkle onto salads and eggs and steaks and whatever else I want, as obstinately as I want, throughout the week. THAT woman has my back.
This weekend I made caramelized onions and a weird little bell pepper situation that I adore. And this afternoon I tossed a little bit or each of them into some leftover soup. I look forward to tossing them into something else tomorrow, on an absolute whim.
If you’d like those recipes, you can comment “recipes” and I’ll DM you the links.
Or maybe just consider giving your near-future self the little gift of having cooked a big batch of something you love, and stashed some of it in the fridge or freezer for another day.
Okay bye 🌖👋
P.S If meal prep works for you, I’m so here for it. Live your truth. This is just a little organized chaos for the rest of us.

It’s a game changer ⤵️
I’ll admit it. I’ve been a professional recipe developer for 15+ years, and I was doing cinnamon rolls wrong.
I finally cracked the code to a recipe that I’m 100% thrilled with, and I think you will be, too. These gorgeous cinnamon rolls:
🌀 Are sooooo soft and tender
🌀 With a flavorful, generous filling
🌀 And a creamy, tangy frosting
🌀 Stay fresh for many days
🌀 Are egg-free, and could be made vegan if you like
The secret to this recipe’s super-soft texture and long shelf life is that you start with a tangzhong, a paste of flour and milk that you make by cooking for a couple of minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients. This process gelatanizes the starches in the cooked flour, allowing them to absorb and retain more liquid. It makes for a super high-hydration dough that’s still an absolute dream to work with, and the rolls stay seriously soft and tender for up to a week.
The dough is adapted from a popular King Arthur recipe, with a different baking style. Filling and frosting are cribbed from my own now-dethroned favorite brioche cinnamon rolls. 👑

These crisp-outside, tender-inside, savory waffles with cheddar and chives are way more popular than I am, and I’m okay with it.
They work equally well for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
And believe it or not, they’re make-ahead friendly.
Top with a fried egg and a dollop of sour cream for a truly excellent meal.

Hi hi! I’m Carolyn Gratzer Cope, a.k.a. @umamigirl. I’m 47, but don’t I look 23 when I slide all my recipes into the frame in direct sunlight?
In 2008 I made a career change, and ever since I’ve been sharing my own (now 700+) professionally-developed, lovingly tested recipes with millions of home cooks around the world.
I named this whole shebang Umami Girl because when I learned about umami, I suddenly understood what all the foods I’d always loved most had in common. As a recipe developer, I naturally tend to incorporate lots of savory, umami-rich ingredients into the dishes I create. All of the recipes you’ll find here are full of bold, balanced flavors.
Over the years my website grew from passion project to full-time business. I couldn’t be more grateful for the role that it’s played in my life, or for all of you, who make it possible.
I attended culinary school at the French Culinary Institute in NYC (now part of ICE) and also hold a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition. But most of what I know about cooking comes from having grown up in a food-loving Italian-American home, and a lifetime of curiosity and self-directed learning.
Though not directly food-related, my undergraduate degree from Princeton University and JD from Columbia Law School also inform the perspectives you’ll encounter here.
I currently live in the small coastal town of Fair Haven, NJ with my husband, two surprisingly grown-up children, one large dog, and one small cat. When not working on UG, I love to travel, sing (professional and volunteer gigs as a mezzo-soprano), spend meaningful time with friends, volunteer (currently as the Marketing Chair for @monmouthcivicchorusnj), read, and stay in shape (give or take 🙃).
If you’re ready to dig into a world of thoughtful food, with some low-key culinary education that empowers you to make more and more of your own fabulous choices over time, I’d so love to have you here. ❤️

Immersion blender hollandaise sauce is almost too good to be true. It’s silky and luxurious and indistinguishable from hollandaise made using the classic, notoriously finicky method. (I learned that method in culinary school and persisted with it at home for quite a few years, but it’s truly unnecessary when making hollandaise in human quantities in your own kitchen.)
This recipe is:
🤩 Ready in five minutes
🤩 Made with just five ingredients
🤩 Borderline foolproof
🤩 Ridiculously, game-changingly delicious
Hollandaise sauce is an emulsion, which feels like the place where science and magic intersect. Fat and water don’t like to mix, but by creating the perfect conditions, you can suspend tiny droplets of one in the other, creating something silky and ethereal.
The immersion blender method uses the same basic tools as the traditional one — time, temperature, and agitation — but with a couple of twists. For one thing, we let the very hot butter heat the egg yolks just enough as we stream it in, which yields much less risk of overcooking the egg. And by creating what’s essentially a tiny sauce tornado in a cup (a tempest in a teapot, but much tastier), we take the labor and the guesswork and out of the whisking process.
➡️ Comment “Benedict” if you’d like a link to the hollandaise recipe. You can find all the Benedict variations (lobster, crab cake, smoked salmon, prosciutto, Florentine) on the website too. 💛

When it’s “not a competition” 🫠⤵️
Vanilla bean cheesecake is classic, crowd-pleasing perfection. It’s smooth, creamy, and satisfying, with or without strawberry sauce. If you’re looking for a winning dessert recipe for the spring holidays, you won’t find a better, more thoughtful one than this.
Even if you’ve never made cheesecake before, these pro-tips (and lots more detailed instruction in the full recipe) ensure you’ll get beautiful results:
🍓 Having the ingredients at room temperature helps them mix together smoothly.
🍓 A little bit of sour cream and a touch of lemon add the subtlest tart dimension to the mix.
🍓 Baking at a low temperature in a water bath and then leaving the cake in the oven results in a perfectly creamy, evenly baked filling.
🍓 Chilling the cake overnight after cooling completely allows you to slice it into the neat wedges you’d expect from a great cheesecake.
Comment 🍓 or “strawberry” and I’ll DM you the recipe.

Two classic quiches, one sheet pan ⤵️
Hosting brunch? Here’s a low-key lifehack I’ve been using for years.
🥧 Buy a pair of really good-quality deep dish frozen pie crusts (my fave is Wholly Wholesome — they’re not sweet, and they bake up beautifully)
🥧 Up to a day in advance, make one Quiche Lorraine for the meat eaters and one Quiche Florentine for the veg-heads, and bake them on the same sheet pan
🥧 You can reheat before serving if you want, but they’re fab at room temperature, too
That’s honestly it. Comment “recipe” and I’ll send you my pair of perfectly calibrated quiche recipes 💛

Where are my savory breakfast fans? 🙋🏻♀️
Savory oats make a comforting, satisfying, and remarkably easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Equally packed with nutrients and umami, they add up to a somehow slightly indulgent-feeling meal.
This version is:
🥣 Full of protein, complex carbs, and leafy green goodness to fuel your bod
🥣 Packed with layers of umami
🥣 Ready in about 10 minutes
🥣 Easy to make as a single serving or scale up for a group
Comment “recipe” if you’d like me to DM you the link to the full details. I also have one of the most-popular traditional oatmeal recipes on the Internet — google “best oatmeal recipe” if you’re not into the savory vibe but still want your mind blown by complex carbs. 💙

Potato salad makes me happy. That sounds basic, maybe. I don’t care. (Man, it’s good to be over 40.)
My OG potato salad was a mayonnaisey number from Steck’s Delicatessen in Bridgewater, NJ. In the late 1980s I’d sometimes go with my dad to buy a couple of pounds of it before family parties.
At Gratzer parties we didn’t just throw a bunch of burgers and dogs onto the grill. You had to declare in advance, publicly, to a man with a note pad and pen, what you wanted. We had some big eaters in the family back then, so it wasn’t uncommon to hear an unabashed, “Two cheeseburgers and three hot dogs, with buns.” You had to declare your buns, too.
Still, everyone seemed to have room for potato salad.
These days I tend to make my own potato salad, and it almost always looks a lot like this one.
🥔 Really good, gold-fleshed, bite-sized potatoes cut in half and boiled in salty water until tender.
🥔 Plenty of crumbled bacon
🥔 A simple, punchy Champagne vinaigrette
🥔 Minced shallot or sliced scallions
🥔 And a ton of herbs
A potato salad like this is super-flavorful but also feels kinda breezy and hot-French-ladyish to toss together. It holds up well on a buffet or at a BBQ/picnic since it’s mayo-free. What else do you need, my friend?
P.S. Not me recording a voiceover with laryngitis, and not the hot-French-ladyish kind. Sorry about that. 🙄 😭

White beans are way up there on the very short list of foods that are both creamy and good for you. Let’s just take a minute with that, shall we?
Turn them into a flavorful, versatile dip, and you’ve basically unlocked one of the keys to the universe.
This savory, creamy white bean dip comes together in about five minutes from ingredients that are easy to keep on hand. It’s:
⭐️ Quick, easy, and make-ahead friendly
⭐️ Creamy and satisfying
⭐️ Flexible — vary the flavors and uses as you like
⭐️ Naturally vegan and gluten-free, in case you’re into that sort of thing
I developed this recipe in 2018 and have been making it almost weekly ever since. It makes a great component of a salad (or, let’s be honest, random leftovers and cut-up veggies plate) for weekday lunches and really shines as a crowd-pleasing appetizer, too.

If you’re looking for a classic cheesecake recipe that’s perfect for spring holidays, you won’t find a better, more thoughtful version than this.
This raspberry lemon cheesecake recipe is creamy, satisfyingly but not absurdly dense, flavored with hints of vanilla and lemon, and not overly sweet.
A gentle raspberry swirl and a touch of extra lemon flavor are the casual dress that make this cheesecake a little extra special. The raspberry augments the flavors without overpowering.
Even if you’ve never made cheesecake before, these pro-tips (and lots more detailed instruction in the full recipe) ensure you’ll get beautiful results:
🍋 Having the ingredients at room temperature helps them mix together smoothly.
🍋 A little bit of sour cream and a touch of lemon add the subtlest tart dimension to the mix.
🍋 Baking at a low temperature in a water bath and then leaving the cake in the oven results in a perfectly creamy, evenly baked filling.

If you’re looking for an old-fashioned carrot cake recipe with pineapple, you won’t find a better, more thoughtful version than this. Over several decades, my mom and I have made this cake countless times and gently tweaked it to perfection. Our take on King Arthur carrot cake:
🥕 Is beautifully moist and tender, with a delicate crumb
🥕 Has generous hits of cinnamon and nutmeg but isn’t muddied with other spices
🥕 Is studded with finely shredded carrot, crushed pineapple, and sweetened coconut
🥕 Has the sugar reduced just a touch so the flavors and natural sweetness of the other ingredients shine through at their best
🥕 Uses the dreamiest ingredient ratios in the frosting to yield a lightly sweet, lightly tangy, smooth and spreadable result
Comment 🥕 and I’ll DM you the recipe.

I love this saffron risotto recipe, partly because it’s super-delicious and partly because I think it represents the essence of my cooking style pretty well. I basically start with every intention of hewing to a traditional recipe — in this case Risotto Milanese — and then am like, okay but let’s throw in some peas and goat cheese, because more is more!
And something new is born in our kitchen that makes us very happy, but with a little cognitive dissonance about the likelihood that Lidia Bastianich and the ghost of Marcella Hazan may be off in a corner somewhere weeping and/or conspiring to murder me.
I hear you’re supposed to have an elevator pitch for your blog and the cooking style it represents. I’m having a little trouble fine-tuning mine, can you tell?

Corned Beef & Cabbage Tater Tot Nachos ⤵️
One bag tater tots (mine was 19 ounces, but don’t stress)
1/4 pound deli-style or leftover cooked corned beef
2 cups shredded green cabbage
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whole milk or beer
4 ounces extra-sharp cheddar, shredded
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 large scallion, white and green parts thinly sliced
Bake tater tots according to package instructions.
Chop the corned beef into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, toss the cabbage together with the lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Let it sit until you’re ready to serve, and then squeeze out and discard any accumulated liquid.
Melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour and let it bubble for 30 seconds. Pour in the milk or beer and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about five minutes. Off the heat, stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper, cayenne, and shredded cheese. Whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
Plate the tater tots, drizzle with cheese sauce, and sprinkle with corned beef, slaw, and scallions.
