• Sauté or steam any vegetable with any of the oils! Just a little gives a lot of flavor in an instant - AND - you retain the flavor of the vegetables because they cook so quickly.

• Use the Natural Grapeseed Oil for any baking recipe.

• All oils are good tossed on any pasta or rice - can season as you choose with sea salt, garlic, pepper or any Wildtree blend.

• Grapeseed Oil makes a super marinade for any fish, chicken, or steak before grilling or cooking. Or just brush it on, right before cooking, if no time to marinate.

• Use the Butter Flavored for any recipe that calls for butter (1/3 cup equals one stick.)

• Grapeseed Oil is great as a light, flavorful salad dressing - mix with red wine vinegar, balsamic or for greater ease, the new Mediterranean Balsamic already has the vinegar in it.

• Drizzle Basil Pesto or Roasted Garlic oil over fresh sliced tomatoes with basil leaves.

• Use it on pizza, drizzle it as a base or at the end of cooking.

• Use for a stir-fry since it will cook at very high temperature without smoking or burning.

• Use the Butter Flavor for breakfast dishes; pancakes, French toast, eggs, crepes.

• Use the Butter ANYWHERE you would ordinarily use butter! Healthier and tastes every bit as good.

• Use as bread dippers - especially the European Garlic or Tuscan or new Mediterranean Balsamic.

• Or - brush any of them on bread, sprinkle with cheese and toast in oven for a great garlic bread.
