“Never Went Back”: 59 Ingredients That Were Game-Changing In People’s Cooking

If you’re anything like us, food is one of the main things you think about throughout the day. There’s a lot of excitement to be found in planning the meal you make after work or what you’ll cook or bake for your family and friends over the weekend. However, we can sometimes get stuck in our little routines and default to the recipes that we know and love.

Recently, some home chefs took to a thread on the sprawling Cooking online group to share their unusual gastronomic discoveries. They opened up about the common household ingredients that they’ve overlooked so far, only to realize just how amazing they can be when used correctly. Smoked paprika, garlic, and capers are just the tip of the iceberg! Scroll down for some inspiration.

We wanted to find out how we can all get inspired to experiment a tad more in the kitchen, so we got in touch with pie artist and author Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin (@thepieous). She was kind enough to answer Bored Panda's questions, and you'll find her thoughts below.
