When adding spices

Use a light hand when seasoning with spices and herbs. Your goal is to compliment your dish without crowding out the flavor of the food.
 Remember, it's usually impossible to "un-spice" a dish!

 For long-cooking dishes, add herbs and spices an hour or less before serving. Cooking spices for too long may result in overly strong flavors.
