Cinnamon oil has a sharper taste that cinnamon powder and offers the perfect touch for recipes containing chicken, fruit, sweet potatoes, squash, sweet breads, eggnog and fruit juices. Just a little goes a long way!

Italian dishes including spaghetti, pizza, and lasagna are wonderful with basil, oregano, and rosemary essential oils. These oils can also liven up fish, vegetable soups and broths, savory breads, scrambled eggs, spreads, pastas and grains. Take a look at our Italian Food.

Citrus oils such as orange, lemon, and tangerine work well when paired with chicken, seafood, fruits, vegetable salads, and smoothies. They can be added to bread, cake, cookie and smoothie recipes to enhance flavor. Water enhances the bitterness of many citrus oils, so it is only necessary to use one drop in water-based recipes.

Dill essential oil adds tanginess to potato, cucumber, and tomato salads and even coleslaw. Fish, chicken, pasta and many summer and even winter vegetables taste fantastic with dill. Add thyme oil to poultry marinade, clam chowder and gumbo, pasta, polenta, beets, green beans, and many egg dishes. For a refreshing change, include peppermint, spearmint, and wintergreen oils in cold water and hot or iced herbal teas.
