    Recipe Introduction

    List of Ingredients




    Substituting Dry Herbs for Fresh and Fresh for Dry


    How much fresh herbs/spices should be used in place of dried and vice-versa?

    In general, you can substitute one teaspoon of dried herbs for one tablespoon of fresh herbs and vice-versa. But let taste be your guide. Packaged dried herbs start out with a stronger taste than fresh herbs, but lose their pungency as they age. So if you've recently purchased the container, you might want to use a light hand, or add a bit more if the herb is older. When possible, use fresh ingredients to gain the most flavor.

    If you're grinding your own spices instead of using pre-ground, you might use a bit less than the recipe calls for, as fresh-ground spices are more flavorful than pre-ground.
