One
of the delights of being involved with cooking is that it is a living art; novel
ingredients, new recipes, a dash of herbs here, a sprinkling of spice there,
an unfamiliar ingredient, a spark of fresh ideas, inspire creativity.

herbs, spices and seasonings
Unless otherwise specified I always use fresh
herbs and freshly ground spices. If you can't find fresh herbs in your area
try growing them yourself. Most herbs are easy to cultivate and require little
care. A sunny spot in your garden, on the terrace or window sill will do. It's
worth the effort; fresh herbs are, in most cases, much more aromatic than the
dried versions.
