      MSG is the umami cheat code.

      Just put that in any food and instant umami goodness.

      Seriously - that stuff is powdered magic. I started cooking with it a few years ago and it’s a total game-changer. The only challenge was forcing myself from adding too much. It seems to have an actual acrid taste if you add so much that it’s obvious.

          I can see it potentially working in some desserts, but as you’ve experienced it sounds like you’ve gotta approach it with a really light hand.
