Preparation of food

A method of preparing flavoured food, the method including:

• applying heat to food inside an enclosed cooking space;
• and
• locating a food flavouring product inside the cooking space, wherein the food flavouring product comprises:
• a hollow body of a heat-resistant material, defining an interior space;
• at least one outlet aperture granting fluid access to and egress from the interior space, defined in the body;
• and
• a liquid or liquid-based flavouring agent, comprising liquid smoke or a liquid smoke component, contained inside of the interior space;
• wherein the body of the food flavouring product, and thus the food flavouring agent that it contains, is heated by the heat that is applied to the food, thereby causing a least some of the flavouring agent, and more specifically at least some of the liquid smoke component thereof, to be converted into a vapour form inside of the interior space defined by the body and to be discharged from the interior of the body, into the cooking space and thus into contact with the food, thus flavouring the food inside the cooking space while the food is being prepared by the application of heat to the food.
