There’s nothing quite like the crunch and flavor of Maldon Sea Salt. I use it as a finishing salt to add the perfect touch of flavor and texture to everything from fresh salads to roasted vegetables. It’s one of those ingredients that brings the dish to life in the simplest way.

I’m a firm believer in using kosher salt—Diamond Crystal in particular. Its delicate flakes dissolve beautifully into dishes and make seasoning much more precise. This salt is my go-to for anything from pasta water to seasoning meat before searing.

When it comes to spices, La Boîte is my secret weapon. These carefully curated blends are crafted by spice wizard Lior Lev Sercarz and take everything I cook to the next level. From Berbere to Garam Masala, these spices are perfect for adding complex, aromatic flavors.

I’ll never compromise on butter, and Kerrygold is the gold standard. Made from the cream of grass-fed cows in Ireland, this rich, creamy butter adds incredible depth and flavor to any dish. I use it for everything from sautéing vegetables to finishing sauces.

When I say Parmigiano Reggiano, I’m talking about the real deal—the only one that should ever be used in your kitchen. This nutty, slightly salty cheese is a staple in Italian cooking, and I use it generously to finish pasta, risottos, or even just to snack on.
