Italian baked goods feature almond extract, citrus zest, espresso, candied fruit, and boozy glazes that create bold, aromatic, maximalist desserts.
"It is always good to add zest to your fish when frying, baking, grilling or poaching after it is cooked," Darkwah recommends. "[This] brings out the umami flavor of the fish."

It's the unexpected ingredient that makes a pasta dish sing and that elevates just about any meat or vegetable dish or dessert with a fragrant lift.
