You're always going to need to know the basics, so you might as well master them. That's why we picked up From Scratch, a book of classic recipes for preserves, pickles, spreads, charcuterie and more by French cookbook authors Laurence and Gilles Laurendon. Preserving tangy feta cheese in olive oil enhances its flavor and makes it even more delicious crumbled in a salad or spread on bread.

  3. Cover the feta with olive oil.
