Freshen Up Your Kitchen With These New Cookbooks, Pantry Staples, and More

When it comes to taste, we all know it goes hand in hand with scent. So leave it to a perfumer to create your new go-to weapon in the kitchen, vibrantly flavored essential oils that are designed to not only bring robust flavor to a dish but to also create an all-around enjoyable experience. These Chef's Essences ($12-$28) come in a ton of flavors, some of my favorites being juniper berry, lemongrass, and shiso.
