Tommi Tuominen gave Iltalehti the best seasoning tips.
Cook-Star chef Tommi Tuominen, the program, urges Finns for bolder seasoning.
– Boldly cook and dare to always put more spice, it usually rewards, Tuominen describes to Iltalehti in the program description.
– Home tests usually leave the seasoning a little incomplete. There is usually the biggest difference between a professional chef and a home chef. Home chefs are exciting to use spices and flavors, he continues.

Harri Syrjänen Like, Importing completely rejects the use of aroma salt. Instead, the ketchup, favored by Finns, receives praise from Tuominen. The nobility of Finnish refrigerators can be used especially in busy moments.
– I think ketchup sometimes works as a good shortcut. I personally use it as a spice, for example, when I make a sauce in a hurry. It provides acid, sweetness, umam and good flavors of one bottle. It straightens a little angle, so it is good to use it in such situations, Tuominen says.
Tuominen calls for home chefs to buy different vinegar for use in your kitchen. According to top chefs, vinegar can be put in almost every food.
– Yes, I would invest in more, different vinegar. There are a lot of differences in them and you should learn how to use them in different places. One where you could start is sherry vinegar. A super good product!
Can vinegar be put in everyday dishes, such as a pasta box?
– Could. I would put vinegar on the surface of the pasta box. It works well, but then it must be some sweeter vinegar, not necessarily directly, for example, white wine vinegar, Tuominen concludes.
