Cooking with Essential Oils
Adding essential oils for flavor can help to alleviate food boredom and are also a great way to get the flavor of fresh spices without the hassle of growing your own herbs.
Some of my favorite essential oils for cooking:
Basil Lemongrass Lemon Cilantro Wild Orange Black Pepper
Note that I didn't include Oregano on the list because oregano oil is so strong you need to cook with respect or you will overwhelm your dishes! While most oils are fairly forgiving if you put in an extra drop or two, oregano oil is one that you will want to use 1/10 a of drop and that's it - dip a toothpick into the oil, stir the toothpick into your dish, or occasionally I will put a drop on a wooden spoon, rinse the spoon under water and then use the spoon for cooking.
What are your favorite oils in the kitchen?
