Particular Names Of Spices You Could Have Hardly Ever Heard About Or Made Use Of Before

Do you know somebody that really likes to prepare food? Do you know someone that can take common ingredients and create an extraordinary meal? I love to cook. In the past I specialized in preparing foods like my mother did, I suppose it would be referred to as wholesome home cooking. A couple years ago I discovered the food network which is when my cooking changed. I began using exotic ingredients, similar to dried ghost peppers, to spice up my food.

Until eventually I began watching the food network and many of my personal favorite chefs I used the same type of preserved herbs and spices that my mother used for her cooking. My mother did not know the particular names of spices or herbs that were not common place. She made use of salt, pepper, sage and cinnamon. Once I started watching the chefs I realized that there was a whole world of herbs and there were quite a few names of spices I had never heard of, let alone utilized in my cooking. I found out about amazing things like ghost peppers, the world's hottest pepper. I started checking the produce area of the store and observed that there were many fresh herbs that were available instead of using dried. I could not imagine the difference having garden-fresh herbs and spices can make in the taste of a meal. By making some minor changes in ingredients and techniques I have become a very good cook.

Last year I planted several herbs in pots on the deck. The pots provided a wonderful spicy smell to the deck. I even bought seeds in order to start growing my own ghost peppers. Using herbs that were picked minutes before use made a huge difference in the taste of the dishes I was preparing. I have started learning the particular names of spices and what types of foods they are used with. My teenage daughter began taking an interest in cooking because she was enjoying the new taste of the foods I was putting on the dinner table. She began helping me in the kitchen with the chopping as well as other preparations. For Christmas last year she made a handy chart with names of spices and herbs or in with the kinds of foods they are used with. She made the chart on the PC and then had it laminated. We have it hanging next to the spice cabinet so it can be used for a quick reference point. I have started buying my dried spices at the area food cooperative. I can buy them in what ever quantity I need so that they are always fresh. It makes a huge difference by spices differently and using them differently. I now grate my own cinnamon and nutmeg. It is awesome how even these common spices come to life when they are grated right into the recipe rather than shaken from a container which has been sitting in the cabinet for years. Also the use of fresh lemons can make all dishes taste like they come from the finest restaurant. I enjoy cooking even more now that I am making higher quality dishes.
