Demystifying Culinary Herbs and Spices

Aromatics and enhanced flavors combine to create not only delicious food, but a treasure trove of culinary wisdom passed down through the ages. Join me in the kitchen as we dissect the fragrance, flavor and benefit of many common and more esoteric spices and herbs. We look at the flavors of place as it mingles with the flavors of migration. We will explore ways to maximize nature’s gift and how to purchase, store, prepare and use in a variety of methods. We will cook and concoct and step into the confidence of where to begin and how to refine an authentic pathway to explore and enjoy these vital ingredients.
