I really love Marmite, but restrict it's use usually to toast. Just wondering If I could add to other things, like soup to add more flavour. I often use veg. stock cubes but they seem so salty. I notice that Marmite also has a high sodium content, maybe there's even another alternative I could use? Julia.

My son loves cheese and Marmite sandwiches
I add it to shepherds pie along with some Worcester sauce, yum!
I add marmite or bovril, depending on what's in the cupboard, to stews, pies, bolanese etc. Just a teaspon full,but it adds added richness to the flavour.

Extract form the site re the salt content says: 'We recommend sticking to the suggested serving size of 4g for adults and 2g for children. This is roughly the amount to cover the tip of a knife and provides 8.5% of the recommended guideline amount of salt for adults'.

You may want to try Vegemite, the Australian version http://www.vegemite.com.au/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.welcome. for info, but no details on the site re salt. Check a jar - a lot of s/markets stock it now. Taste is along the same lines as Marmite, but causes all sorts of trouble if you try to pass one off as the other.

I checked out the Marmite website, and found a forum full of 'interesting' characters all wanting to share their experiences of Marmite. I thought it was great fun, but then I am attracted to whacky people! Julia.
My Mum makes marmite and cheese whirls. You use any left-over pastry, roll it in to a rectangle, spread marmite on it (you should probably dilute it a bit first so it's not to strong and so it's spreadable) then sprinkle lots of grated cheese on top. Roll it up like a swiss roll and cut it in to slices. Cook like normal pastry. YUM!
