Replacements

Greek Seasoning

Greek seasoning is a fragrant blend of dried herbs and spices that captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. Its flavor profile is robust, featuring oregano's earthiness, thyme's subtle mintiness, and a hint of rosemary's piney depth, often complemented by a touch of garlic and onion. The texture is finely ground, making it easy to sprinkle evenly over dishes. Originating from Greece, it reflects the country's love for simple yet bold flavors. Its versatility makes it invaluable for enhancing meats, vegetables, and grains with a taste of the Aegean.

Half-and-Half

A creamy blend of equal parts milk and light cream, half-and-half offers a rich, velvety texture with a smooth, slightly sweet flavor.
