Whether you are hoping to lift your curries, add a creaminess to your mac and cheese, or give your pasta sauce that wow factor, sometimes a good cream is what you need. Here are the best dairy and multi purpose creams for cooking that will make you realise they are something you needed all along!
Cooking is said to be therapeutic and emotionally rewarding, and believe us, that is true. Whether you are drowning your sorrows in a bucket of cookies n’ cream ice cream or eating your feelings at a fried chicken franchise store, that goes to say that eating is therapeutic without a doubt. Yet, even people who find themselves spending more time in their kitchen and experimenting with flavors and textures—as well as getting involved in the physical aspects of cooking such as beating eggs, marinating meats, cutting fishes, or whipping cream, they can attest that cooking too, is rather neat and can be just as therapeutic as eating.
While some people would probably laugh at the idea of cooking being therapeutic, it does not change the fact that it is what it is. Just think about it, having the leisure to do things in your own pace, retreating to your kitchen to prepare a special meal—giving it your best effort and watching the progress of it all before serving it on the table for a special person. And that special person could be you treating yourself to a great dish, or it could be a great friend, a partner you care for, even a family member you wish to show gratitude to.
With all that said, we would love you to feel more relaxed and happier. And because we are also a company where cream is all we ever talk about… Say, maybe take up small daily cooking projects in your kitchen with our list of recipes using some of these culinary solutions?
