Some of my most vivid memories from when I was a kid include drooling at the mountains of food served at Filipino famjams. Not only did it mean I could hang out with my cousins, but it also meant that I got to eat my titas’ and titos’ (aunt and uncle in Tagalog) cooking. Summer time get-togethers were especially delicious, and although I’d stuff myself with inihaw (barbecued meats and seafood), I always had more room for dessert.

When I started cooking, my pantry slowly filled up with different vinegars. I would need one for a recipe, buy it, use a few tablespoons and that concluded our relationship. We were strangers, and the shelf space I was losing made for an awkward commitment. Until I decided to dive in, taste them, swap them into my dishes, experiment. Getting friendly with the bottles you have will inspire you to use them in dishes you might not have thought to before. If you can’t bear even a drop of acidity on its own (my husband would recoil), start by making a basic vinaigrette with a new vinegar each night. You’ll discover that just like having different oils on hand (grassy olive oil, neutral grapeseed or nutty sesame), a variety of vinegars is essential for your kitchen toolkit.
