Best Caraway for home cooking
What Caraway is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The seed that makes rye taste like rye and cabbage taste like a German winter.
Toast lightly and crush if you want the oil. Leave whole in cabbage so people can push the seeds aside. A little in a potato soup is enough.
If a rye bread tastes only sour, it is missing this. If a stew tastes like a sausage factory, you used too much.
