Prepare Your Palate for A Trip Around the World

If you’ve run out of ways to reinvent your recipes, and are looking to add some flair to your cooking, you should delve into the realm of ethnic cuisine. Exploring the distinct herbs and spices used by other cultures is a good place to start.

From: <i> Vegetables for Vitality </i>, Reader's Digest Canada

Exotic fruits and vegetables are often used in ethnic dishes, and help lend authenticity to a meal. Still, what really defines a cuisine is the unique blend of seasonings and spices used to create traditional, and distinctly flavored dishes. Adding basic condiments like curry powder to a stir-fry is a surefire way to transform your meal from an ordinary plate to an exciting adventure. 

Check out our suggested spices, and hit up the nearest ethnic or specialty food store to take off on your culinary voyage.
