Ingredient: Salt

Salt is an ingredient that is used constantly in Chefville. It is one of the easiest and hardest ingredients to acquire. All you have to do is visit your neighbors, complete your five actions for the day, and poof, you get a salt. Sounds easy right? What if you need 4 more salts for that next star, and you only have 3 neighbors left you haven't visited today? More Neighbors are needed then (Post on the Add Me! page, or my Facebook page to get more.)...and that's part of where the chore comes in. You sometimes end up needing SO much salt that its easy to fall asleep while clicking the next neighbor, five clicks, accept, next neighbor, five clicks, accept, next neighbor, five clicks....you see what I mean?

 Salt is used in at least 18 different recipes. Its also used in at least 16 crafting recipes, which you can then use those parts to create at least 57 other dishes. Salt is one of the most needed ingredients in ChefVille, but you can only stack up twenty of them at a time. So if you have a day with a lot of free time, don't waste it just gathering up salt.

Ingredient: Basil

Basil is a basic ingredient, and not found right away in Chefville. As you progress in game you'll find a three part quest chain titled, "The Land Down Over". In part three of the quest chain, you'll be required to expand your restaurant into the "Vineyard Gateway". Once you've done that you'll have access to the two basil plants found in this newly expanded area.

Basil Plant

Harvesting your basil plant will yield you one basil, and you can harvest your plant again after thirty minutes. You can also harvest the basil plants in your neighbors restaurants, for a chance to score another basil.

Basil itself is only directly used in two recipes: Margherita Pizza, and Coq Au Vin.
Basil is also used in the food processor along with Garlic and Salt, to create Pesto. Pesto can then be used in five recipes. So even though initially Basil doesn't seem to be of much use, you can use it to craft another ingredient that is quite useful.
