Bonnie Taste Test Kultured London’s McDonald’s Happy Meal Miso!
It is not often I meet someone who loves miso as much as I do!
Meet Jonathan - the founder of @Kulturedlondon. His miso truly blew my mind!!! 🤯
Kultured make crazy cool miso from the most extraordinarily ordinary food!! Think Cola bottles, think jammy dodgers, think pizza!! His passion for fermenting is so inspiring and it makes me itching to get back into the kitchen with my koji!
I wasn't sure whether I was going to like the range of wacky miso Jonathan brought for me to try, but DAMMIT, they were DELICIOUS! My 2 favourites were the Gregg's Sausage Roll Miso... and surprisingly, the McDonald's HAPPY MEAL MISO! Yes, you really can miso almost anything!! You might have spotted Jonathan recently on Jamie Oliver show together with his famous bacon miso! 🥓

Head on over to @kulturedlondon and discover what else he's turned into miso and hit our bio link to listen to my debut on the Mold 2 Gold podcast, where I share my business story with Jonathan.
This pancake day, why not try something a little different, with a fluffy Japanese souffle pancake? The ingredients are simple but the execution is all in the technique so if you are up for a challenge, then make this your Shrove Tuesday special! Also fab for a weekend treat with seasonal fruit.
The key to the height and form of these pancakes is all about the success of your egg white whipping. They need to reach serious stiff peaks. Otherwise, they will still taste delicious but will not have the drama of a souffle that these pancakes are famous for.
We are collaborating with our friends at All Things Butter for this pancake special, with a super delicious miso cinnamon butter on top! Moorish and fragrant, this butter is the ultimate sweet pancake topper.
It was such an incredible experience, and the team there are so slick - they really look after you and help you prepare well for the show. I chose a dish I love and make regularly so that I could be as relaxed as possible on set. Miso Butter Mushrooms with Whipped Tofu, served with soft boiled eggs for an umami rich brunch. Did I mention that the show was star-studded?! That's right!! There was the superstar Lucien Laviscount from Emily in Paris and Bridgerton...

Miso is essentially a thick, savoury cooking paste, most famous for making miso soups. It is made from fermented soybeans, and it originates from China, before being developed and refined further in Japan. It can be used as a soup or noodle base, as a marinade or dressing, even in desserts!
Fourteen years ago, miso was a little-known ingredient in the UK. Today, it’s a kitchen essential.
From our debut in Selfridges in 2011 to becoming the first miso brand on UK supermarket shelves, we’ve been on a mission to make miso mainstream. And we’re just getting started.
This year, we’re incredibly proud to achieve B Corp certification, joining a global movement that uses business as a force for good—for people and the planet.
And what better way to celebrate than with a giant miso caramel cake?!
This miso caramel cake is an indulgent fusion of sweet and umami, with rich caramel flavours balanced by the deep, savoury notes of miso. Perfect for a celebration, it’s a delicious way to mark a milestone.
