A Well-Stocked Spice Rack

Every baker should have a range of spices and dried herbs. It’s the easiest way to add flavor to your recipes, and you can play with combinations to make recipes unique to you. Keep spices and dried herbs in a cool, dark cupboard and date each bottle when you purchase it. Most spices and herbs will lose their potency and flavor after a while. Ground spices and dried herbs will keep for up to 1 year; whole spices will last for several years.
