Chef Dale MacKay's Tips

for using dropper-top OilEssencesTM

Just a drop or two of OilEssenceTM instantly flavours savoury and sweet dishes, including soups, sauces, marinades and vinaigrettes. Once plated - add a few drops more for garnish. Beautiful on soups, with chopped herb and/or parmesan garnish. Easy, elegant, delicious.  

• Add a drop or two to saute pan oil or butter, before sweating onions or garlic.
• Flavour prepared or homemade soups.
• Garnish hot or cold soups in the bowl, using the pipette to 'drop and decorate'.
• Add a few drops to scrambled eggs - use jalapeno for quick & easy Huevos Rancheros.
• Flavour prepared or home-made tomato sauce.
