Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Not sure if secret, but most people express surprise when I tell them I add unsweetened cocoa powder and brown sugar to my chilli con carne.

    Cocoa goes great in all kinds of stews and braises, but unfortunately a lot of times people hear "cocoa" and immediately jump to "ew, chocolate in my chili? Gross!"
