Treat yourself to the good stuff
There are some ingredients for which you just need to get the good stuff. Invest in quality extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil to drizzle on salads or appetizers. Get the good cheese to crumble on top of salads – the slightly pricier but oh-so-flavorful one. Opt for higher-end hand-cut pasta. Restaurants go high-end on the ingredients that can pack a punch.
