Using essential oils in cooking

Essential oils in cooking are part of a healthy lifestyle, where eating well and well-being go hand in hand. They do not replace herbs or spices, but complement them by adding other aromas. Essential oils are by nature highly concentrated, so always dilute them in a carrier (oil, liquid cream, honey) before adding them to your preparation. To avoid quenching the oils by heating them, add them at the end of the preparation. Just one drop is needed for a 4-person dish (4 to 6 drops for a hot dish).

Here are a few suggestions for cooking with essential oils, as easy to prepare as they are delicious. Bon appétit!

Essential oils should never be used in the diet of babies, children under 6, pregnant or breast-feeding women, or people with allergies or sensitivities.

Essential oils are irritating to mucous membranes. In the event of accidental eye contact, cleanse the eye with a mild vegetable oil. Never use water, as essential oils are not water-soluble.

Always keep essential oils out of the reach of children.
