I'm a celebrity private chef. These are the 5 ingredients I always splurge on — and the ones I buy cheap.
Chef K, private chef to the Kardashians and social media star, says good-quality oils and less-processed breads are worth the extra costs.
Celebrity private chef Chef K reveals her top five ingredients she splurges on and those she buys cheaply. For quality oils, Chef K recommends Costco's Kirkland Signature extra-virgin olive oil for cooking, high-heat avocado oil for cooking, and extra-virgin olive oil for finishing. She believes high-quality oils are the most important ingredient to spend extra on.
When it comes to butter, Chef K suggests investing in higher-fat, less-processed options like Kerrygold Unsalted Pure Irish Butter or Land O' Lakes Extra Creamy Salted Butter. For bread, Chef K opts for whole grain or sourdough varieties with minimal additives, cautioning against overly processed bread. She also prefers using gourmet salts such as Celtic sea salt and pink salt (Himalayan salt) over cheaper alternatives.
