1 more: the SE Asian salty stuff called "Mushroom Seasoning" (my fave brand is easy to remember: there are swastikas on the label) (not a nazi) is like a milder MSG with a mellow warm flavor, it's not too strongly mushroom and also not too salty, but it makes things like brown sauces and tomato-based stuff have a pleasant, long-cooked taste. Way less heavy-handed than soy sauce (though of course soy sauce is delicious). It's something you can add a pinch at a time without much fear that you'll go over the line.
hahaha that label really through me off xD Sounds like an amazing ingredient/tool in my flavour arsenal, will definitely have to look out for it! If you liekd this video btw I'm starting to release mroe long form youtube videos again. Would love your feedback :) 🙏
Thanks for the tips, thay have been added to next week's grocery list! To add an ingredient, Ras El Hanout spice mix (a good one!) Ive found its great at elevating my lazy vegiterian dishes
Couldn't agree with you more there! I'll talk about my favourite spice mixes at some point as its a big part of my cooking! If you enjoyed this I've started releasing mroe long form youtube videos. Would lvoe your feedback if you're interested :) 🙏
Supermarket extra virgin or normal olive oil is great for cooking, its usually not the best quality - then I'll buiy a nice finishing oil in bulk from a local producer or friends and family with olive groves in sicily. In general, cheaper more refined oils for cooking, more flavourful finishing oils for dressings, sauces and drizzling on bread..
So yeah in general - for cooking, look for bulk deals at the grocery store, for flavourful oil try buy a 5LT metal tin of oil directly from a producer or importer

How do you find good quality olive oils for cooking (large quantities needed to fry stuff) and for eating (salads, dips)
