Spices And Herbs
How can you tell what Spices/Herbs to add to your food?
I have gotten back into cooking some, but I don’t know too much about spices and herbs. What spices/herbs give what taste/effect, and what foods use what spices? What spices are always good to have on hand?
Obviously salt and pepper
Oregano – great in Italian food and meats, pungent, herby.
Sage – Great in a rub for chicken or pork. Also works good on potatoes, kind of a piney flavor.
Tarragon – essential fo bernaise sauces, also great addition to egg dishes. Adds a little sweetness.
Red Pepper Flakes – add an extra little kick to anything you are making.
Cinnamon – great for baking and squash dishes.
These are just my personal favorites. I have included a link to a great book.
