Food is like music. Hearing the same songs over and over again gets boring to a point where you don’t want to listen to it anymore. We can totally relate to coming back home from work and eating the same food, that’s completely boring if you ask us. Our meals should be appetizing and help us save money since it’s prepared at home. So today we decided to encourage you to throw caution to the wind and discover new ways to get better at planning, creating, and cooking meals you love in the kitchen. We can assure you that these tips end your worry of food boredom.

Spice your butter.
The saying “when in doubt add spice” is just perfect when using butter to cook. Bearing in mind that moderation is key, adding spices such as thyme, garlic, and ginger adds instant flavour to the butter that you would ordinarily not get in plain butter. To season butter, slowly heat it in a saucepan, add desired spices and stir until there is no more foam. Then, remove it from the heat and let the spices settle down. Afterward, strain through a fine-mesh sieve and store the butter in a refrigerator. There is no doubt you’ll love the result. With spiced butter, your sandwich, toasts, stew, and Naija jollof rice will thank you.

Add salt to your beverage
When you add salt to your coffee, it neutralizes the bitterness by blocking the taste buds responsible for it. A pinch of salt helps to enhance the flavour. It will also add thickness to the beverage by making the water denser. While salt intensifies the taste of your choice of beverage, it also brings out subtle flavours you hadn’t even noticed in past cups of coffee/tea. Your red wine is not left out as well. Adding a pinch of salt to your red wine smoothens and balances its flavour. Oh, and change your life. If chefs add salt to their food to change and enhance the flavours, this same basic logic works for wine.

Add butter as the last ingredient
Preparing wholesome meals doesn’t mean removing fats entirely. Nevertheless, if you undoubtedly want to get the best flavour, add butter as the last ingredient. This trick adds a more distinct flavour to the meal. For instance, a tablespoon of butter or oil added at the end of cooking adds more flavour than 4 or 5 tablespoons added at the beginning. When you add butter at the end, it rests on the surface of the food instead of melding or combining with your ingredients. This explains why we recommend adding butter when our Jollof Rice is almost ready; the flavour it leaves in the dish is heavenly!

Use natural sweetener
Although we love sweet foods a lot, there are many effective ways to sweeten your snacks and meals while keeping them hearty and nutritious. Natural sweeteners are typically less refined than table sugar and generally have more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Consider sweetening your meals by adding Apples, Banana, Berries, Dates, Natural honey or Sugarcane juice to your breakfast cereals, plain yoghurt, snacks and salad.

Cook with Wine
The first and most important rule before cooking with wine; Use only wines you enjoy drinking, to cook. Never use any wine that you would not drink! If you do not like the taste of a wine, you will not like the dish either. The function of wine in cooking is to intensify, enhance, and accent the flavour and aroma of food. For best results, wine should be added when the meal is still at the cooking process. As the wine cooks, it reduces and makes the food taste better. Red wines are perfect for making Beef Stew and Meatballs.
