Curry Spices

Have you ever been completely blown away by something you ate at a restaurant, and wanted to know what gave it that taste? Sometimes, the answer is surprisingly simple. A lot of people spend a lot of time learning the basics of cooking, but never really master spices and seasonings. In my opinion, this is a shame. Herbs and spices can make a huge difference when you are cooking, and they are quite easy to use. If I remember correctly, my fascination with spices started out the first time I tried Indian food. I was raised in a small New England town, and there was very little Indian cuisine to be had.
