Fat carries flavor. When fat is reduced or removed, foods can become bland. It’s important to increase flavorings and/or seasonings to compensate for that lost fat.
* Use grated or shredded lemon, lime or orange peel, or squeeze fresh juice to heighten flavor.
* Add high-flavored ingredients like Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic, gingerroot, chili peppers, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, hoisin sauce or other full-flavored condiments.
* Sprinkle or stir in chopped fresh herbs just before serving to brighten flavors.
* Double or triple the amount of vanilla, and increase spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg when baking.
