In the "Add a pinch of sugar" thread, many of you mentioned other things you like to add to boost the flavor in your dishes - MSG, tomato powder, soy sauce, etc. What's an ingredient you find that you love to add to dishes to improve the flavor (or aroma, texture, or maybe even the way it looks)?

I am a big fan of mushroom powder. It adds a nice boost of umami with some additional flavor that comes along for the ride. Just throw some dried mushrooms into a spice grinder and grind until powder.

Tony Chachere's (pronounced sash-er-ee) Creole Seasoning. It was my go to meat seasoning when I was younger before I started branching out. Being from Louisiana, we put Tony's on everything. It's especially good on fries and eggs. You can basically just substitute the salt in any dish as it's pretty salty on it's own.

I am gonna have to get some and try it! I'm sure I've had it in a dish before but couldn't tell you what it tastes like.

Shout out to Old Bay seasoning. Also really tasty on things. The celery seed in it gives it a very distinct flavor.

I do like old bay, mostly in seafood boils. But I grew up on cajun and that's my heart, lol. Yeah you should have Tony's around all over where you are. I remember when I lived in Japan I had to order it online, lol
