"If you find that your food tends to lack flavor, don't worry. There are many fixes that can help turn this around. In fact, we scoured the internet to find some of the best top tips from celebrity chefs that will help bland food taste much better, and you can find our results below. The best part? It often comes down to just adding one ingredient, like chili paste or even lemon zest, to create a flavor explosion."
"This particular paste, which hails from Calabria in Italy, has a little bit of a kick. Calabrian chiles measure between 25,000 and 40,000 Scoville heat units (for context, that's a pretty similar heat level to a cayenne pepper, which sits between 30,000 and 50,000). According to De Laurentiis, this kick helps bring a depth of flavor to whatever you're cooking, while also imparting a pleasant, smoky, and sweet flavor."
For many people, cooking is a form of stress relief, with over 70% of Americans saying cooking eases stress more than it contributes. Bland food can spoil a relaxing cooking experience when meals take a long time to prepare but remain middling. Many simple fixes can dramatically improve flavor, often by adding a single concentrated ingredient such as chili paste, lemon zest, miso, or soy. Celebrity chefs Giada De Laurentiis, David Chang, and Andrew Zimmern advocate using bold, umami-rich, or acidic boosters to create depth and brightness. Calabrian chili paste adds smoky, sweet heat without overwhelming due to olive oil and vinegar in the paste.
