The joy and use of herbs
:  Are there some easy ways of adding new tastes to my everyday cooking?
Lynne Rosetto Kasper Question:  Are there some easy ways of adding new tastes to my everyday cooking?Answer:  Yes... collect some traditional, ready-made ethnic sauces. Use them as rubs, marinades, or finishing touches in the dishes you cook all the time. For example:     •  Use Thai curry pastes for marinating and for anything you cook in liquid - like braised green beans      •  Rub Chinese Five Spice Powder (fennel, anise, ginger, cinnamon, and clove) into spareribs or shrimp before cooking.      •  Mexico's Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce brings a plush-tasting smoky heat to mashed potatoes and stews.      •  Sauce seafood or replace mayonnaise on cold turkey sandwiches with a blend of French black olive spread (called tapenade), minced onion, and lemon.
