    Recipe Introduction


    Spices can be grouped into five basic categories. These are; sweet, pungent, tangy, hot, and amalgamating. The way we use these and the amounts we put into cooking are governed by these characteristics. Examples of the different types of spices are;

    List of Ingredients




    Sweet: cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, vanilla

    Pungent: cloves, star anise, cardamom

    Tangy: ginger, tamarind, sumach, kokam

    Hot: pepper, chilli, mustard, horseradish

    Amalgamating: coriander seed, fennel seed.

    Then most of the herbs (such as thyme, sage, marjoram, oregano, bay leaves, mint and rosemary) are referred to as savoury. The herbs do have varying degrees of flavour intensity, however not as dramatic as with spices.
