Spice of Life
Posted by Jamie Schwartzman

Anyone who knows me gets that I have a true passion for cuisine. I love to concoct flavors as a creative outlet, which I delight in serving to others. It’s all about memorable experiences and I feel like I’m constructing a quick “brand” for a meal.

Spices are the critical component to positioning the flavor to produce specific emotions. Sweet, savory, pungent, hot. They are my Pantone decks in the kitchen.

I found this compelling infographic today on spices that I’m sharing in honor of flavor. Thank you to Recipefinder for creating and posting this delightful image.


PS I try to grind my spices fresh in a mortar and pestle. It’s amazing the aroma and flavor difference!
