In this episode, we’re reclaiming pantry villains. MSG? Love it. Anchovies? Obsessed. Miso, fried garlic, and briny olive oil? Yes, yes, and yes. We talk about the flavor bombs chefs rely on, the misunderstood ingredients that deserve a second chance, and how to add instant umami to whatever’s in your fridge.
