Ingredient?

Chef

Daily prompt: What’s the one item in your kitchen you can’t possibly cook without? A spice, your grandma’s measuring cup, instant ramen — what’s your magic ingredient, and why?

I’m not what one would call a wonderful cook.  I make my old trusted recipes.  Just the normal stuff; Mac & Cheese, Lasagna, Cottage pie, Roasts and so on. Nothing that I was taught to do.  I always use the easiest most basic recipe books and then add ingredients according to the taste.
I like to bake though, but that’s not the same as cooking.  I bake bread.
The one item that I do love, that no one else in my family like, is Balsamic Vinegar.   I love it over salads.  My favourite indulgence is chopped up cucumber and cherry tomatoes drenched in Balsamic. That’s my thing 🙂
