By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=V._Girard]V. Girard I cook many of our meals and I love to cook, but I am not very creative when it comes to using spices. I never know what goes with what and then end up not using anything. It can be hard to know what spices to even have in your wall spice rack. I have come across a few tips to stock your wall spice rack or any spice rack.
Pay attention to what spices you use the most over a week, two weeks or even a month. Setting them aside in a separate spot as you use them may help to see what you are using the most. You can use these as the starting point for stocking your spice rack.
Ask a friend what their favorite spices are or what they use the most. Pick a couple of spices that you find interesting and would like to know more about and research it and gather some recipes to try with them. Try adding one spice a week or a month to your collection.
If you have any health issues, you could research what spices may help with your health conditions. Many people believe that spices and herbs have great health benefits.
We have all seen the wall spice racks that have 3 shelves with spices all alphabetically stocked in neat little rows. I love the idea of sorting them by themes instead! Group the spices that go well with meat together in one row, spices that would go with sweet things or baking on another row, and then maybe the third row with what you would use for soup or gravy. Many diets suggest using spices and herbs to give your meals flavor and make them more interesting, so that you do not become bored with your eating plan. Having them ready in groups will make it easier to try new things.
Start a spice exchange with a group of friends (4 - 5). This will cut down on the expense of purchasing new spices, but you will get the benefit of trying several spices. Each person purchases a predetermined spice and uses it for the first week. After the first week, they trade with one of the friends from the group and continue until everyone has a chance to try all of them. Bonus: include a recipe that you liked when you pass it on to the next friend. I love this idea.
