It’s been longer than we thought possible – many of us are still at home and making more use of our kitchens than we have in the past as COVID-19 continues to affect the country.

With so many months passed, new homecooks have learned to bake bread (with our own sourdough starter!), sought comfort in tried and true recipes, and boldly experimented with new and adventurous cuisine in search for that restaurant-style experience.

Reflecting on our own culinary adventures, we’ve found recently that going back to basics can transform the standard to a new, exciting experience.
