Ingredient tips

Tomato

Vegetable

Sweet, acidic fruit (yes, fruit) that anchors sauces, salads, and stews.

  • Never refrigerate — it kills the flavor and texture.
  • Score an X and blanch 30 sec for slip-off skins.
  • Roast halved tomatoes with olive oil to deepen sweetness.

Basil

Herb

Sweet, summery herb that bruises easily — tear, don't chop.

  • Add at the end of cooking to preserve the aroma.
  • Store at room temp in water like cut flowers.
  • Stack and roll leaves to chiffonade them.
