I'd love to be a better cook, and I know certain herbs/spices can make such a difference in a meal. My all-time favorite spice is curry. Today as I was making a chicken salad sandwich I poured on the curry, and I began to wish I knew more about what to do with all the spices I have in my spice cabinet.
I have so many spices and they hardly ever get used. If I knew what to do with all of those spices or herbs I wouldn't feel the need to pour different sauces or cheese on my food, which end up making my food unhealthy.
First of all what is the difference between a spice and an herb? I have no idea. That is how clueless I am when it comes to spices. But I'm not going to get into that now. Hopefully that will be something I learn as I begin to experiment. I found a very helpful link that will hopefully help me when trying to figure out what spices/ herbs I can put with what dish. Maybe I'll print it out and laminate it, and keep it in the kitchen so it's always close by.
