The sauce builders.
Four dry blends that handle the hard part of a good sauce. You bring a pan and ten minutes. Pick one, bloom it in oil, and build the real thing from there.

Tuscan Gold
Sun-dried tomato, oregano, basil, fennel. Bloom it in olive oil and it turns into a bright, herby red sauce that tastes like it sat on the stove all afternoon. It didn't.
Golden Hour
Real saffron, smoked paprika, lemon zest. The splurge of the four, and the one people text me about. Made for rice, seafood, and cream sauces that punch above a weeknight.
Brooklyn Heat
Calabrian chili, garlic, fennel. Heat that actually tastes like something. Add a can of crushed tomato and let it rip into an arrabbiata, or steep it into a chili oil you'll put on everything.
Slow Jam
Sun-dried tomato, garlic, basil. The everyday one. All the deep, jammy flavor of tomato confit, minus the afternoon it usually takes. Good on pasta, toast, or eggs.
Or take the whole set.
