Flavor Education
Understanding what each spice contributes is the difference between following a recipe and truly cooking.
Oregano
Herbal, slightly bitter — brightens tomato-based and olive oil dishes
Dried oregano is more pungent than fresh and works better in cooked sauces.
Garlic
Deep savory base — foundation of Mediterranean flavor
Roasted garlic is sweeter, raw is sharp. Sautéed in oil at medium heat develops the richest depth.
Lemon Zest
Brightness and acid that lifts the entire dish
Always add citrus at the end of cooking to preserve its vibrancy.
Cooking Tips by Skill Level

Good olive oil IS the flavor base here — don't substitute it.
Let garlic soften completely before adding liquids. Golden garlic = sweet. Brown garlic = bitter.
Finish with a cold drizzle of high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs after plating — this is called aglio finish.
