Click
on the links above to learn how to use fresh herbs,
dried herbs, spices, herb and spice blends to your
advantage. Take the time to experiment with garlic,
dried chilies and fresh peppers and different kinds
of onions, green onions, shallots, leeks and ramps.
In time, your yearning for fat flavor will diminish
as your tastebuds broaden for a whole new world
of FLAVOR!
There
is no denying that fat adds flavor as well as cholesterol
and calories. The clue to healthy eating and low
fat cooking is how to offset that loss of flavor
with seasonings when you cut the fat. See some of
the bright new seasoning ideas in our low
fat recipes.
Try
your hand at gardening. If you do not have a small
plot of earth, try a window box in your kitchen
window. You can grow a good little variety of herbs
and spices in your window sill.
Once
you start cooking with fresh herbs, you will never
want to use the dried varieties again.
You
think a baked potato is not good unless it has chives.
Wait until you taste it with fresh chives! You won't
want to be without the lovely little green leaves
again.
And
your favorite pasta dishes without fresh basil will
just not compare, once you chop up some fresh basil
to garnish your next pasta primavera or marinara
