What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's? (lemmy.world)

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

I have the same issue with seasonings. I can never remember how much of what i used to make a perfect dish. With all the smart things being made, what we need are smart seasoning containers, just think after a long cooking you sit down to eat and can pull up an app to see you used 2 grams of this 5 grams of that. You mark the dish then next time you're cooking you pull up the app and it reminds you on how much to use.

You could weigh the containers before and after

Im to dumb and lazy too do that. Hence why smart containers would be nice.

Never measure. Just throw. You know you've seasoned it enough when the spirits of your ancestors step in.
