Ingredients beginning with — D

From everyday staples to quietly distinctive flavours, the letter D opens the door to ingredients with depth, tradition, and character. Some ingredients are humble and familiar. Others are steeped in regional history or old kitchen wisdom. However, all play a role in how food is cooked, remembered, and shared.

This collection continues the ABC of Ingredients. It explores where ingredients come from, how they’re used, and why they matter. It does so without rushing and without fuss. You are here to discover something new. Or you want to reconnect with something well known. D is about detail, depth, and delicious possibility.

A note from the kook’s kitchen

This is where I share the things that don’t always make it onto the site. I include quiet techniques, ingredient stories, and the small details. These details make cooking better over time.

Shared occasionally. Always useful.
