How much spice to use; when trying a new idea, it is safest to start
with 1/4 tsp of a spice (excepting the red pepper spices) to a pint of sauce, soup, or vegetable or a pound of meat, fish, or fowl.
Pepper is our most important spice deserves special attention.
So versatile in it's flavor, it could play a welcome role in any dish on this chart (except deserts) Good cooks always remember
pepper as a seasoning corrector, often adding a final dash to taste
regardless of the other seasonings used.
