What an interesting list, very inspiring list of ingredients that I wouldn’t have considered.

Excellent resource list for everyone! Over the years I have found that “the” right tomato paste makes a massive difference.

This is one of my favourite posts.

Love this list - so many umami bombs (in a good way!) here. Agree about dashi powder, which is great even in drier applications like using it in place of salt on anything.

salt + bonus flavor!

I have been on the fence on buying Fiori di Sicilia but this pushed me over the edge!

Wowza! 🤩 Thanks for compiling this fantastic resource! There are lots of things I wasn’t familiar with. (Which is not exactly great news for my condiment-related FOMO paired with the current assortment already hogging way too much [small apartment-sized] fridge space. 🤪)

this is how I found myself buying a little extra dorm fridge…oops.

Such a good list! I bought that knorr powder for recipe testing and never knew what else to do with it. Going to try some of Ham’s ideas!
