Best Awaze for home cooking
What Awaze is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
Berbere made wet: the Ethiopian table sauce you smear on meat, bread, and the day.
In Ethiopian cooking, Awaze is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Awaze before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
