Herbs and Spices

The ancient traders had it right: just a little spice and everything tastes different. That's the reason they worked so hard on the spice route...
Just a little curry and you've got Indian. A little basil and chili pepper with fish sauce and you've got Thai. A pinch or oregano and there you have it: Italian.

So far, we've experimented with the peppers grown in the McRorie garden and thrown in a sprig of basil and rosemary. Even the spices taste different coming from an organic garden.

What do you know about spices and herbs? What are the secrets you'll share? We're dying to know!
