LTC said:Hi, I really enjoy cooking but when it comes to spices I'm kinda lost so I'm wondering if anyone has found a "Good" list of spices that also includes what each one goes with & what each one tastes like.
Thanks in advance for any replies
I have to say, some company came out with "cards" of recipes with the amount of spices you need in pods on the card.

I've seen those in the supermarket aisle, Claire. I haven't bought one, but I like the idea, too. The cards have a title of a "classic dish," the card is bubble-packed with pinches of named spices and dried herbs, the card's back is printed with recipe instructions. Good for experimenters, good for learning spices, good for developing some TNT dishes into your kitchen.
