#30days Home Organisation Challenge
DAY 4: “From the dawn of civilisation, humans sought spices around the world. The seafarers of the ancient lands braved the raging waves and winds to go to distant lands in search of spices and aromatics.”
There are roughly 40 different spices of global importance and many healthcare benefits associated with spices. They have been used in traditional medicine systems, most notably in the Indian traditional medicine system known as Ayurveda. However, the scientific community has only recently recognised the medicinal benefits of spices.
How many different spices do you regularly cook with?
JOURNAL:
How would your family feel about you cooking a few new dishes with different spices and flavours?
If you could eat dinner anywhere in the world, where would it be?
TASK:
Spruce up your spice drawer!
Organise and spruce up your spice drawer with these tips:
1. Keep your spices far away from your oven as hear causes spices to degrade faster.
2. Toss any spices that you can’t recall using, they lose fragrance with age.
3. Optimise the space you’ve got, add labels or invest in an in-drawer insert. If you’re using a shelf label the sides and buy a lazy Susan for easy access
4. Buy a set of standard glass jars that you can fit a teaspoon inside!
“The more you know, the more you can create. There’s no end to imagination in the kitchen.”
