Buy a spice you cannot name and learn what it is for

“You will feel like a fraud pointing at a jar you know nothing about. That is exactly how you learn to cook with something new.”

The Recipe

  1. Go to the nearest spice shop or the spice stall in a market.
  2. Point at one you cannot name and ask what it goes in and how much to use.
  3. Buy the smallest amount they will sell you, and cook with it this week.
