I used to cook super bland food and eventually started just tossing whatever seems good into the recipe while cooking. It usually works out somehow, especially with garlic and onion. Even something as simple as a half teaspoon of dried onion in a cheapo ramen pack does wonders for the flavor. I decided to try coating a burger in fresh diced onion while pan cooking (hate grill flavor sue me) and then scraping it off after and it adds a nice touch without being overwhelming. A splash of Worcestershire sauce into most anything involving teriyaki.
Oh VANILLA EXTRACT IN PANCAKES. If you haven't done that yet you are missing out. That's not really a wild invention but surprisingly few people I know have done it.
On a different note, I ended up taking a job completely unrelated to my comp sci degree. Always felt weird about it, but looking at coding job prospects now, I feel like I dodged a massive bullet.
Garlic and onion are the godly things in cooking.
If I'm cooking those (usually with butter but sometimes just oil) invariably husband or twin will be like "oooo what smells so good" and laugh at me when I'm "its onion and garlic, the same thing y'all find amazing every other time!"
I love onion and garlic so much I usually put in a whole onion when a recipe calls for half an onion and two garlic cloves in place of one.
My wife watches some cooking YouTube channel where they have some normal people competing with or against some professional chefs
The normals have picked up the habit of chopping up a "thinking onion" while they're trying to figure out what to do for a challenge, because almost every meal can use an onion somewhere, and it gives them something productive to do instead of standing there freaking out
I'd recognize Sorted Food anywhere.
Ha, a fellow Sorted Food fan!
Quarter teaspoon of cinnamon in your pancakes for when you’re feeling fancy/cozy.
And let the batter sit for a few minutes while covered for fluffier batches.
My favorite way to make pancakes is with diced banana in the batter. It practically melts when it cooks!
