Introduction
One way or another you have likely been in this scenario: you have prepared
a meal to the best of your ability and you have followed all the instructions
properly, but when you consume the food, you realize that it was only the
first few bites that tasted any good. As you indulge, the food loses taste and
you realize that it really is quite bland.
You then ask yourself: what did I do wrong? Were the ingredients I chose not
fresh enough? Did I over cook the food? No matter how much analyze your
cooking methods, you know that you did the right steps!; so why doesn’t the
food taste delicious?
When you reviewed everything and you are satisfied that you didn’t mess up
with either the ingredients or the instructions, then the reason why the food
wasn’t as delicious as it was supposed to be is likely because of the lack of
flavoring used in the food.
Don’t worry! You can easily remedy the problem the next time you cook! All
you need to do is gather a few spices, herbs and condiments. With these, you
can create different spice mixes and seasonings to enhance the flavor of any
given meal.
First things first, though: what are spice mixes? A spice mix is a blend of
different herbs, spices, and condiments. They are great if you want to add
more flavor to your meal, give your food a fuller taste or simply to shake
things up a little bit so you’re not eating the same thing every time! You can
usually purchase them at your local grocery store, but if you want your recipe
to be more personal, you may mix them yourself. Mixing your own spices is
almost always less expensive and it allows you to create the perfect
personalized blend.
But then you say to me: I don’t know how to mix spices! Where do I Start?!
Well, thankfully you have purchased this book; consider your problem, solved!
This book contains specific instructions on how to mix the herbs and spices,
so you won’t feel lost. We’ll also give you guidance on how you can
personalize spices to your own taste!
