Oils and Butter are essential fats that bring richness of flavor to a meal. Infusing herbs and spices into oil and butter enhances meals by imparting complex flavors, therapeutic benefits and phytonutrients without adding additional salt or sugars. In this class, we will discuss the differences between saturated and unsaturated fats, the smoke point of oils, and which fats are best for specific cooking applications. You will learn simple, flavor-packed recipes and might even have some new ideas for holiday gift giving!
