Make it Taste Good

Eat less. Make it taste great. Here is a good reference that helps you get the most taste.

A wonderful guide for both novice and experienced cooks.

Seasoning Savvy is a wonderful guide to cooking with herbs and seasonings that goes beyond the usual recipe collection, discussing over 100 herbs, spices and flavorings from the history of their cultivation and use to how readers can make wise substitutions. No recipes in the usual sense; but plenty of lore on how to use herbs and spices wisely.

Seasoning Savvy: How to Cook with herbs, Spices and Other Fl

A useful reference book for those who are fascinated with cooking with spices. While the table of contents may seem like many spices are not listed, the thorough index listings cross reference to the alternative names. Individual descriptions of herbs give all the names, list substitutions, characteristics and the types of food suggested for each herb or spice. Interesting suggestions will encourage a cook to try new food/spice combinations.
