Another one of the things I want to talk about here is something that I’ve become fascinated with in the last few years… Spices. Like herbs, spices are used in cooking to impart different flavors to the food that they’re cooked into. They can range from mild to potent, sweet to hot and peppery.

A spice is an aromatic part of a plant that has a very concentrated flavor. Spices are found in the form of roots, bark, resins, pods, fruits, seeds, berries or flowers. There was a time when the trade of spices was a source of great wealth. Today spices are still extremely valuable and yeah, they can get expensive too but their greatest value is in what you can do with them in the kitchen.
