Toast and grind your own spice blend

“Pre-ground spice is a beige powder you never think about, until you smell what the same spice does the second it hits a hot dry pan.”

The Recipe

  1. At the nearest shop with a spice shelf, buy three or four whole spices for one blend you like the sound of: read nothing about ratios first.
  2. Toast them in a dry pan until they smell awake, then grind them together as fine as you can.
  3. Jar the blend, label it with the date, and cook one simple thing tonight that uses a spoon of it.
