I felt that if I am doing a foodie blog that I would give careful consideration to having some information that you might not find on other food or cooking related sites. I used to have an herb closet with I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At that time I was and still am into a more natural way of assisting myself in ridding myself of ailments that might come along in my life rather than using allopathic medicaments.
It is because of this that I thought it would be nice to compile an index of herbs and spices and supply information about them as we use them in our daily lives for cooking and many other purposes. At one point or another most of the herbs and spices that we would use in our daily cooking has been used in one medicinal fashion or another in one part of the world or another.
Many times most of us will just go out and buy the herbs and spices that we need to cook with at any one time and as we cook our meals we add a pinch of this and a pinch of that until our meal is done. For me I wanted to learn more about what I was using in my cooking and learn about any healthful benefits that the herbs and spices I am using will impart to me when I am cooking a healthy or even not so healthy meal. I mean we can use herbs and spices for our health even if we are making a recipe that is loaded with butter and other tasty things can't we? Of course we can!
To this end I will be compiling an index of herbs and spices in this category that will have information about the herbs and spices that one might or might not know about. I promise it will be an interesting read and something that you can come back to time and time again for reference.
Best Regards,
