He Who Controls the Spice…
By the time I realized I was out of curry powder for this Moosewood sweet potato soup recipe I had, it was too late to run get some and my poor, hungry children were sneaking rolls. So I pulled out another of my favorite cookbooks I got way back in La Leche League that encourages a “make your own” style of cooking and looked up how to make my own.
Even though I only had the whole mustard seed, coriander, and black pepper, it was still good enough to flavor the dish. And it was kind of fun to blend them to taste.
