Cookery tips for Spices.

I picked up these cookery tips last year whilst watching Gordon Ramsay Ultimate Cookery course.
These tips really did help me improve the quality of my cooking.

1. To de-seed a chilli cut each end of the chilli and tip the chilli so that all the seeds pour out easily.

2. The bottom of a pepper has less heat in comparison to the top of the pepper where the seeds are found. Therefore if you want to cook a mild dish, I recommend that you use the bottom half of a pepper. If you want heat. use the top.

3 In order to get rid of pepper on your hands, squeeze fresh lemon on your hands, then wash.

4. Poblano - Great for stuffing (Mexican food)
5. Jalepeno - The redder the sweeter
6. Birds eye - Good for Thai dishes
7. Cumin - Aromatic seeds, parsley family. Good to be used in Asian and Mediterranean dishes.
8. Corriander - Smoke Paprika good for Lamb dishes, Oriegano and bay leaf.

Hope this helps you as much as it helps me. :)
