Herb and Spice Tips

Herb and Spice Tips

* For long-cooking dishes, add herbs and spices an hour or less
before serving. Cooking spices for too long may result in overly
strong flavors.

* Finely crush dried herbs before adding to your dish after
measuring.

* Do not use dried herbs in the same quantity as fresh. In most
cases, use 1/3 the amount in dried as is called for fresh.

* Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice have a special affinity for
sweet dishes.

* Use a light hand when seasoning with spices and herbs. Your goal is
to compliment your dish without crowding out the flavor of the
food. Remember, it's usually impossible to "un-spice" a dish!
