Classes are being organized for 4 groups: Those who were unable to com PRACTICAL FAMILY LIVING Do your meals have an air of adventure and excite ment? If not, get in the know about the art of sea soning. A pinch of this or a dash of that can improve most any dish. Foods gain personality with the use of seasonings — spices, herbs, seeds, vinegars, ex tracts and salts. The popularity of spices and herbs has soared in recent years. No longer are salt and peper sufficient. Learning to use spices and herbs is easy. It’s best for beginners to start with a tested recipe. Get the feel of which spices and herbs go with particular foods. Later, feel free to experiment. Spices and herbs do not change the chemistry of cookery. Use them according to the dic tates of your own imagina tion. Alter existing recipe or create your own, but don’t tamper with the basic in gredients. Use spices and herbs to put your signature on conven ience foods. Packaged foods are generally lightly seasoned to appeal to the greatest number of people. The home maker who is familiar with spices and herbs can add the seasoning which appeals to her family. Be light-handed with sea sonings. Don’t add too much or too many. You should not be taste-conscious of the pre sence of a particular spice or herb, only aware that the food flavor has been en hanced. For greatest benefit, spices and herbs should be added at the appropriate cooking time. Whole spices should be added at the beginning of the cook ing period so that the long cooking can extract the full flavor and aroma. On the other hand, the aroma and flavor of ground spices are soon dissipated, so add them toward the end of the cook ing period. Add spices and herbs to uncooked food well in advance so their full flavor will be released to blend with the food. Knowing how to buy and store seasonings is an im portant part of the art. Un less you are a full-fledged gourmet, buy spices and herbs in small amounts. Color and flavor are gradually lost dur ing storage. For best results, store spices and herbs in a cool, dry, dark place. Keep spice display racks away from direct sunlight. Keep cans and jars tightly closed. Occasional ly examine your supply of spices and herbs for strength and color. Replace as need ed. Food without seasonings is like a painting in black and white. Learn more about sea soning and you will give the gift of food artistry for as long as you cook. — By Rita Waters, Home Economist-Nu trition, Cooperative Extension Service, University of Geor gia.
