Iga asja peale mihkel: making the most of the herbs and spices in your kitchen

The presence of a spice rack or pots of fresh herbs in our kitchens may or may not actually be helping to make our food more enjoyable.

On one hand, sometimes the jars and bags just sit there, collecting dust as we rely on salt and pepper alone. Herbs grow faster than we can possibly consume them. At other times, they are thrown into food haphazardly, creating an unclear mixture of flavours or too much emphasis on one flavour over everything else.

...how might we organize herbs and spices more effectively to make cooking more exciting when we’re at home?

When spices and herbs aren’t used as well as they can be, it’s no wonder dining out or ordering in becomes so tempting. The expert-level seasoning of this cooking, where the potential of each ingredient is maximized, is one of the things that keeps us going back for more chef-prepared meals.

So how might we organize herbs and spices more effectively to make cooking more exciting when we’re at home?

Labels: If the spice jars and fresh herb containers in your kitchen aren’t already labelled—if they’re from a bulk package or a garden cutting that someone gave you, for instance—this is the first thing you can do to encourage their use even more.
