Hi everybody,
Consider for a moment this word.
Does it mean: to add flavour to sth (the flavour that wasn't there before) or to enhance the flavour, to make it stronger (the flavour that was already there), in the context:
Fruit juices are allowed in cooking, too, but in moderation. You can use a little honey or molasses to impart their flavour and moisture.
Grazie mille

Hi Antonia. I think here it means that honey enhances the flavour of fruit juice in your cookings. In the definition of the word: it gives a particular feeling, quality or taste, I think the particular taste is the enhancement, isn't it?

Gosh, I don't know, I guess it is. I have to dissect everything before translating it, so sometimes I don't see wood for the trees.
Thank you LL
Thank you LL

In this sense, it means "to pass on" their flavour. In the example you give, the flavour of the honey or molasses can be tasted in the finished dish, even though you don't use very much

Oh yes, I hadn't seen the point that the 2 sentences were independant! Thanks Abbie!

Thank you both. Do you happen to know what a cooking spray is made of? I tried to find what is it made of but nutrition facts have zero value for everything, the producer mentions only what isn't there (fats, proteins, etc,.) but there is no info about what actually is there. It seems to me that cooking spray is some magical ingredient:)

I have never heard of that! Cooking spray!!!! I hope that others can give us a clue!

Really, that's a relief, I was beginning to think that sth is wrong with my country since we don't have all these wonderful products:)
You can use it to grease the pan before baking.. but I wonder wheter it is an oil in it or some kind of oil substitute..There are different kinds of it..

I'm sure the situation in my country is worse than yours! But intersting to know that they 've thought of even this! It's very easy to pour the oil and brush it on the surfuce!

Cooking spray is usually made from oil, often olive oil. There are also "low fat" sprays.
Because it is in droplet form - almot aerosol - it is sufficient to lightly coat the pan with the spray to stop food sticking. It's a way of using the minimum amout of oil for your purpose.
