Adding a little extra something.

The company of a good looking man?

A few squares of chocolate in my chilli con carni.

Definitely chocolate in Chilli,

Some chopped up bacon on top of salmon bakwed in the oven . cheese with egg mayonaise .

Pearl barley in beef stew gives so much flavour.

A sprinkling of sea salt on caramel icecream

Anchovies to ragu.

Dash of HP sauce with the mince for cottage pie.

Grated cheese mixed into mashed potatoes.

Red currant jelly to shepherd's pie.

Mustard in with mashed potatoes
chopped chilled or garlic in most dinners

When cooking the mince for cottage pie, add curry powder, just a hint and a tablespoon of mango chutney.
Gently fry thinly sliced leek in butter, stir into the mash potato before topping the mince.
Grated cheese on top before putting into the oven.

Horseradish in mashed potato.
Balsamic vinegar and small teaspoon of sugar in ragu, which should always be half beef mince, half pork mince.
Marmite or english mustard on toast before you put the cheese on when making cheese on toast.
Frozen grapes in drinks (tonic, gin, vodka etc) it chills the drink without diluting it.

Mayonnaise ( from a jar) and black pepper on cheese on toast. I know, sounds horrible, but is somehow delicious.

Freshly chopped mint to coleslaw

Im a bit nervous of saying this but bayleaves to scouse I know I know its sacrilegious but it works

And of course, ALL food tastes better when you've added a bit of love to it....

A teaspoon of sugar when using canned tomatoes - really brings the flavour out !

Worcester sauce in boldnese - yes, not very Italian but much liked by our family.

A pinch of curry powder to a potato salad. Z

Sorry about the 'Z'

Definitely agree with Buffybee about adding curry powder to the mince in shepherd's pie. But then I add a chilli to everything!

What’s scouse please ?

I use Swiss Bouillon powder as recommended by Delia in many of my savoury dishes. Especially good in soups, pasta sauces and sprinkled onto roasted root veg before shoving in the oven. Low salt version also available.
