Aromatics, Oils & Butters


Aromatic vegetables are cooked to release their flavors, sometimes by gently "sweating" the vegetables over low heat until softened, slowly caramelizing them over medium heat until browned, or using high-heat to quickly seal in the flavors, creating the base for so many dishes.

Oils are the liquid gold of the pantry. Save up all of your pennies to buy the best you can get your hands on. I've recently fallen in love with avocado oil. All of my oils are organic and unrefined. If it makes me an oil snob, then so be it.

Mmmmm. Butter. I use unsalted, organic, grass-fed.
