In the “Add a pinch of sugar” thread, many of you mentioned other things you like to add to boost the flavor in your dishes - MSG, tomato powder, soy sauce, etc. What’s an ingredient you find that you love to add to dishes to improve the flavor (or aroma, texture, or maybe even the way it looks)?

I am a big fan of mushroom powder. It adds a nice boost of umami with some additional flavor that comes along for the ride. Just throw some dried mushrooms into a spice grinder and grind until powder.

I agree. I’m always generous with the garlic. Best way to start is frying garlic and onions in butter/oil.

I like adding the garlic gradually as I cook, so that I get the full range of flavors that develop

Why would it be controversial? Garlic is delicious, and none of us are vampires. Or at least I’m not. I promise. >_>
