Over the years I've had several go to spices, herbs, oils, food enhancers that I've embraced. They were all "secrets" in that I used them in my kitchen and never noticed them being widely used. Just wondering if the rest of you have secrets that you have learned to cook with and had success with.
I'll start with my absolute favorite ... fennel pollen. I use it on fish, game, poultry, steak and avocado along with sea salt, olive oil, and another favorite secret "grains of paradise." It has a serene herby anise/fennel flavor to it.
