What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's?

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Specifically cayenne?

Yes, for a specific effect. It gives a smoky depth of flavour and much improves some shitty coffees. The dude here saying a pinch salt, that works too but a different effect.

I've used a dash of salt in french press when I have very few options over how its made, it takes off the bitterness and adds no saltiness.
