The Everyday Gourmet: Essential Secrets of Spices in Cooking
Cooking with spices doesn’t have to be scary. Or sporty. Or baby. Or posh. Pumpkin, however, is optional.
LESSON (6)
01:India-Heart of the Spice World
Journey to India, which produces 50 percent of the spices consumed around the globe, and learn how to work with cumin, coriander, paprika, masalas, and other unique tastes from this cuisine of spice. Recipes include basmati rice with cardamom and cloves, chili tamarind shrimp, and a sweet chai tea.

03:Mexico-Chiles for Every Palate
First, explore the differences between common chiles such as jalapenos, guajillos, and poblanos-and how each can add a unique (and spicy) twist to Mexican dishes. Then, follow the step-by-step process of making the perfect mole that incorporates roasted chiles and spices ranging from Mexican oregano to chocolate.
