It’s always lovely to hear how chefs have been using Mara Seaweed in their dishes. Here’s how Yuki Gomi likes to use it: "I use it in all my classes and most of my dishes, especially making soup for the ramen class and gyoza class. I love the light but very deep umami flavour that it gives." Check out @yukiskitchen on Instagram for some great recipes. And to experience the deep umami flavour for yourself, get your seaweed from our online store today.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
