Everybody knows I have a thing for spices... I would never do with just your basic mini spice rack... I have a whole collection of jars that keeps growing and growing... I buy all I can... Get spice gifts from friends who travel... I even make my own mixes... Not all of them of course... But most of them...
I have Herbes de Provence, somehow my spice rack would seem empty without it... I make Ras el hanout, dried rose petals and all for my Moroccan cooking... I blend my own Masalas, I love Indian food!
I’m always looking for different flavours... Different combinations.. Cumin... Caraway... Italian Oregano... Mexican Oregano... Aniseed... Star Anise... You name it... I have to have it...
Most my non cook friends just stare at my pantry and look a bit lost... So, I’ve been thinking... How about I work on a spice chart that would help you guys get authentic exotic taste going??
It could be tons of fun, right?
Oh... I need to go get my pork roast out of the oven... Traveling to the Caribbean this week...
Laters!!

Hey Lena:
ReplyDeleteI read your post with interest. I know some people have organization systems in their head (ya know, ones that can't be explained but allow you to grab the cumin in 2 seconds flat), but I thought it might to be helpful to share my product with you...
The SpiceStack! This handy plastic organizer holds 18-27 full size spice bottles in the kitchen cabinet. You can label the drawers so you are always finding spices fast. Also, you don't need to worry about transferring spices from their original bottles. I know it won't work for all spices (bulk or small bag quantities), but thought it might be a good idea for atleast some of your growing spice collection.
Happy cooking! Lauren @ SpiceStack.com
I do wish you could come over and take a tour of my spice rack and tell me what to do with them. I go back to the basics over and over and over. I am, for a gal who enjoys some spice, not very spice adventurous in my own cooking.

Boy, Pork Roast, the Caribbean, and spices! It all sounds so decadent! You should make a spice chart Lena, I could use some more knowledge and some new flavors! I hope you enjoy your trip.
