I remember reading a comment on here one time that said anytime you’ve got people coming over for dinner, cook some onions and garlic in oil, even if you don’t need them for the meal. The smell alone will both make your guests hungry and also get excited for a good meal (assuming they’re into food).
What meal/cuisine wouldn’t benefit from onion and garlic though? Genuinely asking.
I add at least the powders to probably everything I cook, sometimes even white rice. But I’ve always wondered if I’m adding “wrong” seasoning to a dish when I use them!
(Eta: I also regularly cook with them but usually that’s when the recipe calls for it. I add the powders to browning meat or enhancing sauce etc regardless of recipe I just add them. )
Powders, yes, basically every meal. But I don’t always sautée them. Powered doesn’t have the same smell, and you can’t always use sautéed onion and garlic in every meal.

Sweet meals maybe
like milk noodles/rice
Also maybe garlic with sushi, but onions work
