Unusual Seasonings Enhance Flavor

Cooks often have secret ingredients that enhance the flavor of any dish. Have you ever heard of putting a small amount of fresh pepper on strawberries? It brings out the berry flavor. Sugar enhances the flavor of tomatoes, especially in spaghetti sauce. A lot of people know this trick, but it's worth passing on again: a pinch of salt in coffee also enhances its coffee flavor.

When I was young and learning

When I was young and learning to cook, putting salt in a sweet recipe seemed so "wrong" to me and I was so surprised when it worked! I haven't heard of that for orange juice, but it sounds good . . .

Nice tips. My parents always

Nice tips. My parents always put pepper in the morning orange juice. I really does enhance the flavor. Also a touch of salt works really great with sweet desserts.
