Sephardic Cooking, Middle East Cooking,
is only as good as the spices
and the flavors that you put into the food.
when you've eaten, if you've traveled to the Middle East, and you've actually tasted the food
You taste the flavor that is so rich and so full of body
and you wonder how you can take that
same flavor and reproduce it in your own kitchen.
the secret to reproducing it in your own kitchen is through the spices that you use.
the grains that you use and the quality of the spices
I've heard on various cooking shows "use good quality this" or "good quality that"
the quality is very very important and i try and buy my spices fresh
because when I buy the store brands
I find that they just don't have the same body.
the same smell the same odors
that will make my food really stand out.
so these are some of the things that I use when I cook.
