The Foundation of Flavor
Aromatics are the ingredients that create the first layer of flavor in a dish. Often sautéed at the beginning, they release fragrance and depth as they cook, setting the tone for everything that follows. Ingredients like onion, garlic, ginger, and herbs don’t overpower the dish, but quietly shape its aroma, balance, and overall character, making food smell as good as it tastes.
