Mine probably isn’t that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

    I’ve also found that coarser salt works WAY better for certain stuff.

    If it is too fine, for some stuff you have to use a ton or it just disappears, and I don’t really like the result. But if you get the stuff that comes in giant crystals, that’s fantastic for steaks/chicken, stuff where you lay it onto the surface of something to season it. It’s like uneven salt lets you have spots that are way saltier than what would be enjoyable if you salted the whole thing that much, and it ends up tasting better than the same amount of salt applied more evenly.

    Sauces, or anything where I want it dissolved, is the only time I use the fine stuff anymore.

      I’m pretty much the same way, though I do throw in a bit of fine salt on occasion for the iodine content. I don’t eat a ton of seafood which makes getting the rda of iodine difficult.
