About The Spice Rack
A well-stocked spice rack is one of the quietest signs of a seasoned cook. Glass jars catch the light, paprika's deep red beside nutmeg's dusty brown, a cork stopper here, a tin lid there, every container a small promise of flavor. Reaching for a jar by habit, without even looking at the label, is one of the small satisfactions of a kitchen that has been cooked in for years.
