Notes

Our Do It Yourself department is meant to inspire and motivate you to make items at home that you would normally buy at the store. To continue our 2019 summer issue theme of COOK and FIRE we wanted to share a condiment we use daily. It’s our version of homemade chili oil. You can certainly make it without all the additional spices but we love the extra depth of flavor.
