       More random #Recipe tips.Feel free to share your own.Ginger & tomato go well together in chutney "tomato confit"Hibiscus-tea cockails shaken with egg are delicious.Avocadoes make great smoothies.Store eggs pointy-side down for longer shelf life (air sac on top)All salt is the same except for shape, but that's a big difference. Rock or table salt don't substitute for flake finishing salt on cookies, but taste the same in stew. And the weights vary greatly by volumeFresh basil freezes

       @Tarnport A tiny amount (too little to actually taste) of chili pepper opens up tastebuds slightly, making the dish seem more flavorful

       @Gorfram Well said. There's an old Julia Child episode (I think it's on soufflé) where she says, "Now add just a scrape of nutmeg, but just a hint, not so much that a guest might taste it and say, 'Oh! Nutmeg!'" That's been my litmus for many things ever since. You want complexity and connotation, a je-ne-sais-quoi, not denotation and a hammer.
