Spiced

Open up the world of flavor hidden in your pantry.

Discover how to use spices to amp up the flavor of your food and get foolproof recipes that put these simple techniques to work. Sprinkle a finishing salt you make from sea salt and herbs onto seared white fish fillets to make them special. Make a different roast chicken every week by applying a different rub. Learn the best spices to use in curries—and when to add them for fragrant (not dusty) results. Add flavor—and texture—with homemade blends (you'll eat your spinach when it's topped with pistachio dukkah). Infuse condiments with spices (try chipotle ketchup on a burger). And flavor baked goods and desserts with saffron, cardamom, dried lavender, or rose rather than just cinnamon.

"Worth its weight in gold for the practical cook who wants to feel confident about putting good food on the table."
