This is inspirational. I’ve never used, made or really thought about vegetable stock. I love soups and often make them but usually just add vegetables to the soup itself.
This is a great way to use peels. I like that in this process the vegetables don’t have to be peeled though they have to be carefully washed. 😆This might sound fickle but I love the look of the cut of the garlic and would make sure I have that in my stock. It's usually a sure ingredient for many of the dishes I make.
Dropping or adding an icecube of flavor to a dish is so convenient and effective. I sometimes do it with coconut milk.

Spices are like a beautiful secret that turns ordinary water into fragrant and strong-tasting water.

This! Well said. 😃
