FLAVOURINGS
1. TAHINI Tahini, a paste made from ground sesame seeds, is high in protein and calcium and adds creaminess to dips, dressings and other dishes. You can find it in most grocery stores.
2. YEAST EXTRACT Marmite and Vegemite are the best-known brands of yeast extract, a salty, slightly bitter black paste that comes in jars and tubes. Some people like it spread on toast, and a little bit adds saltiness and depth of flavor to savory dishes. You’ll find it in natural food stores and in some supermarkets.
3. SWEET CHILLI SAUCE Sweet chili sauce is made from chilies and a sweetener. It’s a popular condiment in Asian cooking and can be found in Asian grocery stores, and in the ethnic food aisle of supermarkets.
4. WORCESTERSHINE SAUCE Worcestershire sauce often contains anchovies, so look for vegetarian varieties in natural food stores.
5. ROSEWATER, ROSE ESSENCE, ROSE SYRUP & ROSE PETALS

These add a lovely floral flavor to desserts and savory dishes. You can find rosewater and rose essence (also called rose extract) in natural food stores or natural pharmacies; the essence is much more concentrated. Rose syrup, which is sweetened, is usually available in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Asian grocery stores and in some supermarkets.
