Never throw away the rind from brie or camembert. Keep it for when you're making cheese sauce or bechamel - add it to give a rich creaminess. Trust me.

For cottage pie, a little Worcestershire sauce does wonders.

Even better, mix it up by using lovage instead of celery for a more herby hit of flavour. I grow my own because local shops don’t stock it.

I've had cottage pie that someone else cooked, it had a tin of baked beans in with the mince. It made it go further and tasted good.

I made a quiche a couple of weeks ago and when making the pastry I put a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a teaspoon of cumin seeds into the pastry mix. Gave a nice tang to it.

Lovage is a wonderfully easy to grow perennial. Each winter I conclude it's died; each spring it returns in herby profusion.

Agree with Worcester sauce, as people have said. Soy, miso and anchovy essence (effectively the old Roman condiment of garum) achieve the same effect, adding that umami richness. Mushroom powder does the same - just grind up some dried mushrooms (porcini, preferably, but shitake or normal field mushrooms will do) and you can sprinkle it on / add it to sauces.

Another favourite is chervil. Harder to get hold of, though, and certainly harder to grow (in quantity) than lovage.
