Aromatics offer the foundations of flavour

Aromatics like ginger, garlic, onions and tamarind add dimension and depth to meals.

Garlic, onion and ginger are some of the hardest-working flavour enhancers in cooking. It’s hard to imagine any cuisine in the world that doesn’t begin with at least one of these three aromatics.

Besides their culinary uses, ginger, onion and especially garlic are touted for their medicinal properties. However, it is in cooking that they truly shine.
