Nothing is more important to food than the fat with which it’s made. Whole cuisines can be categorized by the oils–or butter–upon which they’re based. As this country, originally settled by butter-eaters, is learning, all oils are not created equal. Olive oils, for instance, vary incredibly in taste–fruitiness, acidity, bitterness–as well as weight. Now Williams-Sonoma lets you try before you buy. Their Highland Park Village store has an oil-and-vinegar bar that allows you to sample oils and vinegars before you cook or toss with them. Look forward to a summer of perfect salads.
