The gentle green one. Everything on the plate gets brighter and nobody loses an eyebrow.

Shawarma seasoning, seven jars into one

Sharp, briny and green. The Italian one, not the tomatillo one.

Grated tomato and Calabrian chili
Grated tomato with a Calabrian kick and a lemon lift. Sauce or dip, your call.

Herby, tangy and green-flecked. The cooling spoon for anything off the grill.

Bright, briny and thin enough that every leaf gets some.

The jar in the fridge door you reach for without thinking.

Tahini ranch, hold the Hidden Valley
Ranch, reimagined in tahini and soft herbs. Not a bottle in sight.

Nutty, garlicky and pourable. The sauce that makes vegetables interesting.
