The Category is… Culinary Essential Oils
When we sat down to think about the most inspiring way for us to raise money for a cause near and dear to our hearts, we thought about food and drink - it is, after all, what we do. We decided to marry our passion work to a passion project. Every day, we share the purest essential oils on the planet with those who want to level up their health, vitality, and - yes - their kitchen creations. To celebrate Pride - and the launch of our new product line, we curated a beautiful Taste the Rainbow Culinary Kit - 22 exquisite culinary grade essential oils that elevate food and drink, will change your kitchen forever. and will support the LGBTQ+ Community.
An Act of giving back
With your help, the purchase of the Taste the Rainbow Culinary Kit goes beyond the kitchen. During Pride Month (June 1 - June 30), for every kit purchased, we are donating 20% of sales directly to THE CENTER. Our stomachs might be in many places, but our hearts and eyes are on the work still to be done for the LGBTQ+Community with our Taste the Rainbow campaign.
Pride Month isn’t just about parties and parades—it’s about giving back. Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or love someone who is; whether you’ve blazed a path to the kitchen as a home cook or know someone who loves to cook, you can indulge in some big-city gifting by purchasing a Taste the Rainbow Culinary Kit.
There’s no time like the present to make a real difference. A lot of things stopped since 2020, but the need to do good didn’t. Alli and I looked deep inside and into the world around us, and realized there was still a fight to be fought. One to help the world move forward in incorporating equity, inclusion, and respect for diverse perspectives. As two queer women who have been steady supporters of THE CENTER, the heart and home of NYC’s LGBTQ community, we decided to raise cash to fund programs ensuring members of the LGBTQ community have a place to connect, heal, celebrate and thrive. THE CENTER is the cornerstone of the LGBTQ community in New York City and each year, more than 400 community groups find support systems and take advantage of its many resources. Their vision of justice and equity for all recognizes, responds to, and celebrates the many intersections of different identities.
In keeping with the soul of dōTERRA and its charitable business model, we aligned OUR business passion with OUR personal passion - giving back. - Allison Baldwin - Co-founder, The Zest Zone

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT CULINARY ESSENTIAL OILS
TESTIMONIALS
When looking for ways to build flavors in my cooking, I often turn to essential oils. Sneak a few drops of ginger or lemongrass essential oil in a simple vinaigrette and you’ve unleashed layers of unexpected tastes. A few drops of basi lessential oil amplifies the bright notes of fresh or cooked tomatoes. Cooking with essential oils adds fresh complexity to a dish - Priscilla Martel, Award-winning Restaurateur & Cookbook Author
I love having dōTERRA essential oils available in the kitchen - they add such a punch of flavor to my dishes and drinks… the possibilities are endless and it doesn’t have to stop in the kitchen! - LF, Zest Zone Customer
I love the easy and convenient flavor that my essential oils add to my food. I can add so much flavor to my meals with just one drop - and they last a long time! Plus, I enjoy the many internal benefits of the oils when I add them to my food. It’s a win-win. - Lauren D’Agostino, Cookbook Author & Chef
I love cooking with essential oils because they are truly natural. They give me access to an aromatic and flavor profile I cannot find in any other ingredient. They also add incredible elements of assistance for the body. There’s also a medicinal component - I know when I cook with them I’m doing something that’s not only delicious, but good for my body. - Julez Weinberg, Cultivate Wellness - Co-founder, Cookbook Author
Why do I use essential oils in cooking and baking? I can meticulously include a seamless flow of mouthwatering flavors that not be gained with fresh herbs or spices. The culinary oils offer dishes a high quality of satisfaction. I use oils in everything. I always expect five star meals. - Dianna Hall, Under One Sun - Founder
When I was first introduced, it was to make-over my medicine cabinet and to add to my apothecary with natural solutions. I had no idea I could also make-over my spice rack and pantry! I now love infusing my dishes and beverages with these beautiful oils. Your kitchen will never be the same. - Angie Hager, Lift-Life - Founder & Life Coach
I love cooking and cocktail-ing with essential oils. They’re cost effective - just a drrop and not a lot. Always accessible in my spice rack for last minute recipes, they pack in real flavor that we should be getting from these plants. Importantly, there are physical and emotional benefits to these oils! - CC, Zest Zone Customer
