The Marmite Bolognese that broke TikTok, written down properly
The Marmite Bolognese the umami-bomb crowd is making wrong on TikTok, written down properly. One teaspoon, for four people. Stop using more.
The umami-bomb trend is just cooks discovering what Nigella has been doing for years
The TikTok umami-bomb trend has put Marmite in stews, ragus, and brownies. The trick is real, but Nigella was doing it in 2010.
A Marmite glaze for roast vegetables
A teaspoon of Marmite, a tablespoon of oil, a splash of just-boiled water to thin it. Whisk together until it is loose enough to pour. That is the base glaze. It will coat about a roasting tray's worth of vegetables for four people. Add the glaze at the end, not the start.
Cocktails with Marmite in them, briefly and honestly
For the last few years there has been a small but persistent trend in higher-end cocktail bars of using Marmite as a savoury cocktail ingredient.
Marmite in the comfort-food repertoire, properly

Nigella's Marmite spaghetti, the right way
The Marmite spaghetti recipe originated, in its modern form, with Nigella Lawson in the early 2000s.
Creamy Marmite chicken, the recipe that earns its place in your weeknight rotation
Chicken in a creamy, savoury Marmite-and-parmesan sauce. The Marmite is hidden in the sauce, doing the long-savoury-back-note work that a slow-reduced stock would otherwise do, except this version takes twenty-five minutes start to finish. This is a proper weeknight recipe.
