COOK OF THE WEEK - RECIPES WITH SPICES

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/22/2016 - 7:19am

I am always wondering what spices or herbs to use on different meats, vegetables and fruits so I decided to look up a little about some of the most common herbs people use. Of course I know about sage, for example. My Mother always put sage in dressing, both with pork or poultry. But when it came to spices or herbs, my Mother didn’t use many “fancy” things in her cooking, just common farm-wife cooking was her style and sometimes I like to try out new things with the food that I cook. When I checked online for information about cooking with herbs the first thing I read is that
“Cooking with herbs is like frosting a cake: it makes the dish complete.”
