16. Spice Things Up
The key to cooking good food lies in the spices. Some people aren't familiar with the idea of adding seasonings to their meals (as they associate it with being spicy). However, you need to know that some spices add flavor without any heat. Some examples we can name like salt, oregano, rosemary, basil, and thyme are those that you can find in many recipes. Besides, another great thing about them is that once you buy a bottle, they will last for quite a long time. You're not sure where to begin?
First, there are starter kits, and spice racks available online that will give you a bit of everything. Nevertheless, it is a lot more affordable to buy the specific spices needed for a recipe. Over time, you'll build a collection in your pantry. You'll be surprised to see what some species can do to your bland food.
