How comfortable are you with building umami flavour in plant-based meals?

I've never heard of umami—what is it? I know umami exists but I'm not sure how to create it in vegan dishes. I use some ingredients like mushrooms and miso, but inconsistently. I confidently layer umami sources (mushrooms, miso, nutritional yeast) in every dish.

Which Canadian-inspired vegan dish have you successfully made at home?

I haven't tried making any yet—I'm just starting to explore. I've made simple salads or smoothie bowls with Canadian ingredients. I've successfully made one or two dishes like maple-roasted vegetables or a simple stew. I've mastered multiple dishes including poutine, tourtière, or other complex Canadian vegan recipes.

How do you typically approach seasoning your plant-based Canadian meals?

I use minimal salt and herbs—I'm worried about over-seasoning. I follow recipes exactly but don't adjust seasoning based on the ingredients I use. I season as I go and taste frequently, but sometimes my vegan dishes still feel bland. I confidently use bold seasoning with fresh herbs, spices, and salt to match traditional Canadian flavours.

What's your biggest challenge when creating vegan Canadian dishes?

I don't know where to start or what ingredients to buy. I find recipes online but they don't taste authentic or satisfying enough. I can make decent dishes but I rush through steps and sometimes skip caramelization. I rarely struggle—I'm looking to master advanced techniques and seasonal variations.
